the tree Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Is it possible to Know our own destiny?To a limited extent, we all have plans for what we're going to do tomorrow (going to work et cetera), although we remain largely clueless about the details until closer to the event.
Sisyphus Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Of course I know my own density. It's just a tiny bit over 1 gm/ml with my lungs empty, and a bit more under with my lungs full. It's a good density for swimming. Oh, wait, destiny? No, of course not. You can't isolate a system smaller than the whole universe, so that alone means you can never entirely predict what's going to happen in the future. Of course, the shorter the time frame, the more isolated part you're looking at, and the simpler the objects of examination, the better you're able to predict with high probability. Like, in a sealed room in a vacuum with a ball falling through it, I can predict very well what's going to happen 1 second in the future. However, for something as fiendishly complex as a human being, existing among other human beings on a crazy planet like ours? No, I think you're out of luck.
