Just let me warn you: I don’t have any sort of education about these topics, and it’s all just mainly opinions and some pretty limited research. But anyway, I had this idea. I discussed it with a couple of people who showed varying degrees of interest in this subject ranging from “shut the fuck up” (yes, your name starts with an L, you know who you are alright), to insightful responses.

What if, hypothetically, I saved all the information in the universe (I do mean all), at a certain timeframe in the form of data, and then used physics to look back in time to see how it used to be at certain points in the past, easy.

First of all, this relies on the concept that space really is finite, or at least the amount of energy in the universe. Infinite amounts of data simply don’t work out, so that would rule out everything.

But let’s just assume that it’s all finite for now.

Now what if I tried not to look backwards in time, but forward, towards the future.

Whatever apparatus I’m using to calculate the future will pretty much have to calculate calculations it never actually made, and by that, by making that calculation, I am changing the possible future as I’m doing it.

Let’s imagine a little TV set that can show you the future. If you turn it on and see yourself in the future, the fact that you see yourself, as you watch it, has an impact on yourself, and if it’s even possible for you to see the future, which in this method in my opinion would be a bit of a problem.

Now the question is whether the apparatus could perhaps perform a certain calculation that has some sort of a recursion that can always be predicted? If it constantly calculates the calculation, and by that changes the future with the new calculation based on that, it’s constantly changing the projection, thus, can we make it so that itactually works?

By the way, as for the person who gently told me to just “shut the fuck up”: I don’t mind you shutting me up like that really, but “random” is not something forever unpredictable. It’s just something that doesn’t any pattern you are aware of. Just think about it.
