I have a theory on Looking Glass.
What if Looking Glass is a quantum computer created far into the future and is designed to hold every bit of information ever recorded? What if it is created in an environment where time doesn't work like it does here? This would mean it doesn't have to wait to make calculations. Since it is created in an environment that time doesn't affect we can access it with the right technology and know how. Remember this? "WE ARE THE GATEKEEPERS OF ALL [BY ALL WE MEAN ALL] INFORMATION."
