This is entirely theoretical, however I would like to see your opinions on the matter.
If somehow it was possible to predict where every single atom and molecule was at any given point in time, would it then be possible to predict the future? If you knew these things would you then be able to predict the next movement at any given point? As every atom has to interact and react to eachother in a certain way, if you knew where they all are, you would then be able to pin point where they will be in 5 seconds time due to certain interactions or reactions.
Its a pretty out there type concept, but if you think about it, it actually seems quite believable. Whether or not we will ever get the technology to be able to do these types of things is another question.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
You've kind of just described the Grand Unifed Theory or was that the Theory of Everything? Anyho, basically with that you can predict the velocity and position etc of all particles. Now as for knowing where every atom is at any single time you'll always have the heisenberg uncertainty principle to ruin the fun. |
