My Blue Speck

No there is no hocus pocus involved in what I’m writing here. No ancient myths, no crystal balls, no magic at all.

Just an idea for a machine that can predict the future. Imagine a small empty room with no doors, no windows, and all the walls and the roof and the ceilng are exactly the same. The normal laws of gravity apply and the only thing in that room is a ball.

Let us assume that this ball starts bouncing. Given the exact velocity and weight of the ball one will be able to predict the exact path of the ball and it’s final resting place. Behold I give you a basic crystal ball which let’s you preside the future. Keep adding more balls and complicate the room by adding windows, furniture, doors etc and you’ll probably need a computer crystal ball now.

Now imagine if the room was the earth, and there was a ball representing everyone and everything. If we had a computer capable of tracking everything I’m sure it would be able to predict the future with great accuracy!!
