I should really stop thinking

[Yanah_God]

It just makes me sound like a complete jackass/idiot:

w00tz dude999: I wonder, if we found the formulae of the rules of existence and the ability to compute it and convert those computations into a model of the universe, given a certain amount of time passed, if we could tell the future.
nightcat000: .... u lost me after the i
w00tz dude999: And if we could, and we calculated what would occur if we do such a thing, it would most probably have us looking at the calculation.
w00tz dude999: At that point, there would be an infinate amount of calculations.
nightcat000: heh..
w00tz dude999: And no matter how powerful the computer, it would simply overload with data.
nightcat000: stop thinking.. u'r brains going to explode
w00tz dude999: So, we could tell the future, but only up until the point at which we try to tell it.
w00tz dude999: Which means we cannot see into the future.
w00tz dude999: Even though the answers to the formulae would exist, they would be too complex to be held in the universe, and thus unsolvable.
w00tz dude999: So we could learn precisely what had happened in the past, and everything about the universe elsewhere, but it is impossible to calculate the future.
w00tz dude999: I just solved that in 5 seconds in my head, I want to see someone give an arguement as to why we WOULD be able to look into the future.
w00tz dude999: No comments?
