    If we could know the current state of every particle in the universe, we could accurately predict the future.

    Physicists already thought of this. The uncertainty principle forbids knowing a particles position and momentum to within a certain accuracy at the same time. Basically, the more you know of one, the less you know of the other. Applied to any two complimentary. variables.

    Turns out, it’s a fundamental property of wave-particle nature of systems.
