Determinism & Chaos

Quote:
And, if the universe is deterministic, we don't even need to measure all these moments; just the first one.
Except for the fact that it is impossible to measure the first instance to the poin t where all the variables are known in absolute terms, because when you begin to measure such minute values, the actual act of measurement disturbs the situation being measured...and without a complete understanding of the variables in a situation it is impossible to predict the future...ENTER CHAOS THEORY.
