Fate
To begin; I actually believe I can shape my own future, as a person, an individual.
To challenge that; (As far as I know) everything inside of me is made of atoms. Atoms are made of quarks and leptons blah blah blah. Atoms behave in a very particular and predictable manner, (aside from radiation) - even though some of the intricacies of matter interaction are (at this point) unknown. Atoms build molecules and complexes; which in term build cells and life (the universe) as we know it. So if we fathom the fact that a single cell is more complicated than a 747 and that the human body contains some 10-100 trillion cells, we are still facing the predictable (yet insane) computable behavior of all those atoms...
In effect; life, (the universe) is just an ongoing chemical reaction.
Here's my proposition: A computer is made that maps every particle, every tiny bit of energy (in the entire universe+/beyond) at a single point of time. The computer then uses the complete laws of particle interaction (still unknown to us perhaps, but this is theoretical) to predict how everything will react for say, the rest of time?
Would it not then be said that if the universe was considered this computer, that everything had a predictable outcome? That at time x particle y would be at x,y,z? Effectively saying that there is one linear time line for the entire universe?
-I understand that this would be physically impossible, it takes a super computer to compute Schroedinger's equation for hydrogen. Helium cannot even be calculated.
-Radiation is currently believed to be a random event. It still remains to be seen whether or not this is fundamentally true or not, this could have a butterflies and hurricanes effect (with time as opposed to oceans) vs just being another factor to the previously mentioned laws of particle interaction.
Finally; I can't think of a way to actually prove this theorem, or a single use of the knowledge of whether or not it was true...
What I would like is an indication of whether I've missed something?, how feasible it is?, how many people have been on the same train of thought? and your own thoughts/contributions...
