Isn't LaPlace's daemon basically saying, if you know EVERYTHING there is to know about a system at one point in time, then (theoretically) you can calculate and predict the behaviour of that system indefinitely? Thread status: Hijacked!

I remember a David Copperfield trick similar to this one! He had 10 pictures and you think of a number and blah blah blah whichever one you choose it always ended on the one picture

Being able to predict something does not imply that you can predict it 100% of the time. Just look at the weather. It is a chaotic system and we can normally only predict within 3 days accurately, but even then, there are cases where the Bureau of Meterology has predicted incorrectly, even with-in the 3 day time frame. I hope I've answered whatever it is you're saying in that previous post. I'm not really sure what you're referring to.

I have been to a store called Target, the business which employs you, but alas, I have not been to the specific Target store in which you work Have you ever been outside of Arizona?

Wrong. 1) Predicting things with 100% accuracy is only possible in the short-run. 2) The more chaotic system the shorter time you can predict it's behaviour 1) + 2) => I believe that prediction can have a 100% accuracy, but only in the short-run. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ummm, you've changed the 1st premise of Pa's argument. Actually, you've kind of done away with premise 2. That seems to be just an explanation. If you look at your first premise and your conclusion, they're one and the same thing

Pirlo and Kaka are enough for me.

BUMP

No, but I wish to go there as part of my holiday in Europe Have you ever been to Australia?

Not sure we have badgers over here, but no. Have you ever wondered why the trip to is always longer than the trip back?

Nope. I don't know CPR Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish?

about to log off

No. I'm a cadbury But we did force a friend to drink one bottle of wine in 15 minutes, and half a bottle of bourbon in the next 15 minutes. Needless to say he was quite drunk for the rest of the night. Have you ever had your stomach pumped?

I don't like Mars :yuckky: But, no I haven't done anything similar Have you ever deprived yourself of sleep to the point where you've collapsed?

I'm willing to bet I have, but I can't remember. I caused one the other day in lecture though Have you ever fell asleep whilst tipsy?

I have, and I believe you've experienced the same thing quite recently Have you ever been so entertained by an argument that your stomach hurts because you're laughing so hard?

Hello Kaytlin Did Original Sin also tell you about Bunny? Just paste him from my sig to yours and all will be fine If you're interested, there are 2 clubs you can join: The Bunny Club, and the BellaNinja club. There are no others . Don't believe the others when they tell you there are, because they're all liars

Once again, no. But I get the feeling that I'm not missing out on much Have you ever believed that someone was out to kill you?

going to get my 6 hours rest

I'm on the fence on this one. I like hearing about the stories though. I've had my fair share of experiences with the supernatural (if it were actually supernatural or just a product of my psychology) So, I feel there are supernatural forces at work in the world and people can tap into them. But I'm skeptical about some of the miracle workers, especially the religious ones, since many of those can be explained by psychology and the sciences. And apparently psychics don't gamble and predict results because of a moral code or something. Who knows?

^ definitely satisfied now

about to go start work again... damn you iLectures...

Damnit Liverpool...
