If we were to restart the universe from the very beginning with the exact same base parameters and then let everything unfold naturally, would everything happen the exact same way, or are there some "events" which might depend on some probability that could be different ?
I'm talking about every single event, from every star and planet creation and positioning to every human interaction, even every human thought.

No, you still wouldn't get a gf
Yes, your mother would still not love you
Some things are physically impossible, doesn't matter how often you try

How could anyone possibly know the answer to this?

In the end, it doesn't even matter....

No, I might do things differently, depending on my mood.

since the outcome of events at the quantum level are probabilistic it stands to reason that there would be differences.
>>
>>9077829
Things would be different since reality probably works in a probabilistic way. Then again, maybe the universe constantly diverges in a way such that all of these event happen in parallel universes, so by re-starting it all, you would probably just create a similar set of universes (with all the various outcomes) -just like what might exist right now.

yes
move on, next question

Either yes, it would unfold the same way, or no, phenomena are inherently unpredictable and a core axiom of scientific thought is shattered. Everything we've ever discovered or studied has been inherently deterministic, aside from quantum physics, and thats fairly new.

Don't be fooled, quantum physics is deterministic, too, just not intuitive. People that subscribe to quantum mysticism are retards.

Why are you combining double slit interpretations into determinism?
>>
>>9078055
I didn't mean to imply QM wasn't deterministic, just that it's usually the physical mechanism to which people ascribe randomness

But I thought you didn't feel emotions, that's why you need people to hate you so you can send them into oblivion?

>>9077829
We need a /phil/ board. This is not something science can address, since the experiment is impossible to run.

if there are infinite universes, would they switch places? would you go left instead of right and not get hit by a car this time?
if there is one universe, would you still post this thread and be a faggot?
probably
