if the universe is infinite, then there would be an infinite number of variables. the sheer volume of information would make it impossible to determine even one outcome. there is also the problem of those objects, especially those with free will, which act in a way contrary to their nature. within a relatively small closed system you might be able to make accurate predictions, but when the available data has no end all of the outcomes you are trying to predict would have come about long before you realized the futility of your endeavor.

damn. 7:30 in the morning and i'm already this high.
