... the position and speed of every single particle in the universe at any given moment, you could extrapolate the past, present, and future of the universe.
How?
P.S. It's simple, really.

Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

And then you divide by 0 and get 42.
you would need to know probably a bit more, as how the universe itself works, and laws that are hidden to us, but yeah, the basic idea is that
an idea that came up in Falling Skies too, which was quite interesting (for the half sentence it lasted ^^)
10k DPS Vesta threads: 1; 2
But if you knew all of that, you'd have no idea where the universe itself actually was.
(Uncertainty principle's a *****, ain't it?)

Every particle is where its supposed to be
at any given time
and 5 minutes from now it will be were it was going to be
Never divide by zero. Ever. Every time someone does a sink hole forms in the middle of the ocean.
*sigh* dang it vop....now shadow and kitsune (both of them) are going crazy because one of us divided by 0 :P
Yes, that's right, Werner Heisenberg, the man who received the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the creation of quantum dynamics", and who made serious and lasting contributions to several other aspects of the field, was "a well known nut" :rolleyes:
Further, your argument is nonsensical, since "where its(sic) supposed to be" implies purpose where none exists - every particle is where it is, and five minutes from now will be where it will be, a location which we can determine to a given degree of certainty(hypothetically) dependent on how much information we have about said particle.
Since we can never have all the information about a given particle or group of particles, probabilities are the best we can do, and so the universe is only partially deterministic.
If you want to dispute experimentally verifiable science, you have to come up with a better explanation and verify that experimentally - that's how the scientific method works, you don't just get to spew some vaguely philosophical claptrap and ad hominem the originator of a proposition you dislike.
We are PWE. Your forums and game accounts will be added to our own. Your community will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
I think that post and this whole thread is a little tongue in cheek. Besides the universe ended when Voporak divided by 0! :-S
Lighten up a little.
Hmmm... yes it is simple.....:rolleyes:......UNTIL you factor in the EIGHT extra dimensions and all of their particles future past and present!!!!!!!
!:mad::mad::mad:
Space and time are the same thing. That's Einstein 101. So if you know one you know the other.
yes THAT well know nut
who thinks tacyons can't remember where they are
-
that which has no purpose simply does not exist
and which The Gods know EXACTLY
that lacks ambition
Anything can be followed tracked and mapped
experimental?
he claimed particles THINK
science is "ignorance by numbers"
the cosmos is basically simple
science is the attempt to make the simple complex and the real unreal
basically its bone shaking in a white coat much of the time
Matter exists
its where it belongs
Matter is Matter
Energy is a property of matter
and anyone who says different is probably crazy

molecules do as they are told by higher authority
Be that a God
My hand
or some semi random force known as chaos (who is actually a female entity with pink hair )
Uhhh... what?
Anyway, I never said it was possible to know the location of everything in the universe - it is in fact impossible due to the fact that you are part of that universe, and your brain is composed of... you guessed it... particles. Tons of them.
Essentially, to know EVERYTHING about what's going on in the universe at any given moment, you need to turn another universe into a computer. And this is assuming that multiple universes simultaneously exist.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Technically, you can't know exactly where every particle in the universe is in the first place, so Heisenberg has no say in the matter. :P

with exactly 2 particles in it
We can predict THEIR behaviour very easily (they will orbit each other)
from there a sufficently powerful mind (as in a god or possibly a super computer the size of manchester ) can predict a larger number
In short, you would have to be the Q in order to do this. Viewing the universe, like they do...a petri dish full of bacteria as an alalogy.
Except for one thing: In theory, the Q are still part of this universe. Therefore, even they can't see the universe from the perspective required to calculate what I said in the OP. :P
However... because they can instantaneously travel through time and space, they DO get pretty close to the real thing.

It could wind up with one if one of them was to be stolen i suppose
