If every initial condition of the universe is known, could anything truly be random?

woah damn bro you are a really deep thinker

no

I was wondering something similar.

If we have a unified theory and a set of formulas for that.

Could we predict what was the state of a person that lived 200 years ago and copy that inside a computer?
>>
>>8277221
It's an unsolved problem. All we can say is you have to choose between counterfactual definiteness and locality, and most physicists would rather keep locality. The rest is speculation.

Define initial

>>8277227
Why of course you're correct. This is all a matter of speculation, and ultimately holds no grounded evidence. However speculation is quite fun!

>>8277231
By Initial I mean every condition in which the universe begun. My assertion is that having all relevant data of the origins of the universe, in addition to the means to predict all outcomes, that nothing cannot be predicted.

Is it?

Okay, I read that that's your assertion. Now what?
>>
>>8277221
Yes, why not? If the universe is stochastic the same initial conditions can produce almost any outcome
>>
>>8277221
How did the previous universe end?
>>
Tell me how you would know the conditions of a particle with certainty

Didn't expect this did you bitch, life is random

Spiderman thread now
>>
>>8277221
you clearly never heard of quantum mechanics
>>
>>8277286
Who is to say there was a previous universe?
>>
>>8277221
Ok, let's forget QM...

Without any randomness you'll get a fractal universe. More repeatable, without mistakes. Boring. Universe couldn't evolve to what it is now without some randomness thrown into it's initial algorithms.
