The unpredictability of the future from "summary" of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli
The future is not determined or fixed; it is open and uncertain. This is a fundamental principle of the physical world, rooted deep in the heart of quantum mechanics. In the quantum world, events do not unfold in a predictable, deterministic manner. Rather, they are characterized by a fundamental unpredictability that is inherent in the nature of reality itself. This unpredictability is not a flaw or limitation of our knowledge; it is a fundamental feature of the universe. It is not that we lack the ability to predict the future; it is that the future itself is fundamentally indeterminate. This indeterminacy is not due to a lack of information or understanding; it is a fundamental aspect of the way the world works at its most fundamental level. The unpredictability of the future is not a sign of chaos or disorder; it is a reflection of the underlying order and structure of the universe. It is not a random or arbitrary feature of reality; it is a consequence of the way that the laws of physics o...
