psychics

-----The problem with predicting the future is sorting your own imagination from actual images of the future and of it being reliable enough stream of information to give you a full picture. Why don't you just bet on the winning #'s and be rich and not need to write books on being psychic to make a living. ----- The future may be predictable if you use shortcuts though, by predicting specific things, like the weather for instance, where you generally know the parameters and can compute the events to follow this is using the law of "Cause and Effect". Cause and effect being the one reason that you can't travel back in time. So unless you can manipulate cause and effect it's not possible. or the one thing in the universe that I personally think is impossible. Except maybe living forever. -----But anyways if you tried to set the parameters for predicting the full future you would need the data of every partical down to the infinitely micro scale (atoms and smaller)and it's state and you would also require all of the information for all particals in the infinitely macro scale(galaxies/universe) and then you would need to calculate for every second into the future that you wanted to predict. and since seconds can be infinitely disected into smaller increments of time then to calculate the future with your infinite knowledge of the universe and an infinite sized computer. The size of the data needed would be (infinite X infiniteX infinite= smallest prediction of the future possible)
