I've recently been thinking that chance may not exist at all. In other words, It is possible to predict the future, as long as you know EVERYTHING that is going on. In everything I mean everything down to the atom.

The thing is, everything we do, every interaction on Earth is just an interaction with atoms. So if we had an identical big bang, everything, and I mean everything would be exactly the same. Even if world-altering decisions depended on the roll of a dice, the dice would roll the same way. Exactly the same way... down to the atom.

Think about it. If you always throw the dice from the exact same angle, at the exact same height, from the same floor (all down to the atom)... it would always land the same way.

You might think "But I have control over what I do, so that isn't 'fate' ". But then again we don't control what we want, what we feel. So in a way, we actually have absolutely no control over what we do.

The advantage of believing in this theory for me, is that it stops you pondering 'what ifs' in life. There are no what ifs.

Now think if (lol a what if, but not in the way I meant it) in the big bang one atom was altered. Think how much it could change, even to the point where humans might not exist.
