: After Newton propounded his laws of gravitation and mechanics, Laplace pointed out that if a powerful intellect had a description of the current position and momentum of each particle in the universe, and the requisite mathematical ability, that powerful intellect could predict and retrodict every event in the history of the universe.
Well the universe would be a lot of fun then wouldn't it eh? That's why we can't be bothered to develop the wherewithall to know where each particle in the universe is cos then I wouldn't bother going down the pub to watch the Barclaycard Premiership or watching 'Band of Brothers' to find out who won World war 2 and on and on ad infinitum and remember Murphy's law
If everything's going your way...you're in the wrong lane!
