determinism

Some of my future posts will relate to determinism.
why I will explain here what I mean.

Suppose one knew the exact position, speed, gravity and any kind of physical property of each element in the universe. Then one could theoretically advance to calculate precisely how these elements, such as atoms, behave in exactly 10 seconds to one another. Since all Information about if all elements are present, but one could also expect any far into the future and vorraussehen they were.

is practically not possible of course. We do not have all the information and also no computer keonnte the work all at once, without it would be at longer than the time that he should actually be calculated.

But it is enough to know that it would be theoretically possible.
So if everything is predictable, there is no chance. All that we see as a coincidence
is only a consequence of unknown parameters.

This is as it were all predetermined, so determined.
If I speak in the future of determinism, I mean this kind of predictability.

Whether the world is actually deterministic, can not be checked experimentally.
Man a general determinism can be derived from the determinism of natural laws.

An area of physics that goes against the possibly is quantum mechanics.
I do not know enough of it, to assess to what extent it excludes determinism. As far as I know, there has so far still no answer to this question.
