I predict that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow, that next year will be 2008
Yakuzablitz said:Can you discuss predicting the future without getting into the thorny philosophical territory discussing whether we have free will or not and whether the future is predestined or not? I'd like to believe that we do have free will and that the future doesn't have some set course that we have to follow, regardless of our thoughts, feelings, or wishes. Wouldn't the ability to predict the future imply that the future is indeed "locked in"? A scary thought...
A.LeClair said:As touched on already, if predictions are seen as tapping into probabilities, free will isn't swept away.

A.LeClair said:Check out the work of Bohm if you haven't. More specifically "pilot waves", the "holomovement" and "many worlds theory". This should all be easily found online. If you have trouble finding it let me know and I'll see what I can turn up.
