Re: Who believes in random events?
I think by trying to predict somones actions, you are gonna change the outcome, if a subject is aware that his actions are being predicted, he won't act as he would normaly the predictions wouldn't be acurate. Im not shure how to explain my thinking, its hard to get ---- out of my head on to the computer and make it sound cohearant,

If you could simultaneously gather info on the state of every atom in the person's brain, you would be able to predict how the person would react to any situation, including one where he knew he was being predicted.
You would have to have all the info on the external influences of the person as well to be able to decide how the person would react to those situations, but at the basic level...the person is still just reacting to a force.
If two atoms interacted in the exact same way, the result would always be the exact same and you would know the exact outcome of that exact situation...it would never be different. Everything is built from atoms and thus is completely predictable.
The only problem is, we don't have the ability to create the exact same interaction (intentionally), and in order to predict everything with 100% accuracy, you would have have to get the state of every single photon/neutron/proton/moron at the exact same time...in a time so brief it isn't measurable because of its brevity...or in (opposite of infinity) seconds.
This is impossible to do. If it was possible, and you process all the info faster than real time (which is also impossible), you would literally be able to see into the future.
We will never be able to accurately predict everything, but theoretically it is 100% possible and "free will" DOES NOT exist.
Really opens the door to other questions...

I see what you're saying, and it seems plausible, But you have to measure all those factors at a universal level. Now if the universe is infinite including supposide other dimentions, that means a lot of info to compute 
That would make seeing into the future a propbability, not to mention if we have the ability to know the univers and dimentions, we would be knocking on the door of time travle as well... my brain tickles....

i feel like thinking about this ---- makes both my nuts hurt. And we will never be able to ------- predick the future cuz of drugs. Although when iam really ------- high I know i will be hungry later.
