Re: On Creating Imaginary Worlds: Questions and Answers

If a system is very sensitive to its start conditions, and if we also live in a universe where start conditions - at a quantum level - cannot be determined (which is the current hypothesis), how can the result be predetermined?

Where systems are not so sensitive, our approximate knowledge of the start conditions allows us to estimate the end result so that we can make practical use of it.
