Theoretically, as long as we can grasp every detail and apply the laws of nature, we have not predicted the state of anything in the next second. For example, when shooting a basketball, as long as we know the strength, angle, and the wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature

We live in a real world, a predictable and descriptive world.

Theoretically, as long as we can grasp every detail and apply the laws of nature, we have not predicted the state of anything in the next second.

For example, when shooting a basketball, as long as we know the strength, angle, wind speed, direction, humidity, temperature and other conditions at that time, we can know whether we can score a goal.

also has weather forecast. If we can grasp the movement laws of each air molecule and water molecule in detail, and combine the comprehensive factors such as the earth's gravitational rotation speed, we can accurately predict the weather.

To put it bluntly, if we can achieve the above details, we can predict everything in the future. Everything from birth to death can be predicted.

Of course, this is just a theoretical analysis, but it is actually very difficult to do.

However, the emergence of quantum mechanics completely breaks our understanding of the real world. Quantum mechanics shows that everything is unpredictable and uncertain, and this uncertainty is the inherent nature of things.

According to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, we cannot determine the position and velocity of microscopic particles at the same time. The more the velocity of the microscopic particles is, the more uncertain the velocity becomes. On the contrary, the more certain the velocity of the microscopic particles is, the more uncertain the position is.

The microscopic particles in the quantum world are always in a very vague superposition state. Just as the famous thought experiment " Schrödinger's Cat " describes, there is actually a cat in the world that is "both dead and alive". This cat is in a superposition state of "both dead and alive". Do you believe it?

There are even more terrifying experimental electronic double-slit interference experiments. There are many explanations for this strange phenomenon, one of which is the parallel universe theory.

The theory holds that the universe splits at the moment a single electron passes through the double slit, splitting out countless parallel universes , and countless parallel universes contain anything you might think of.

In reality, we will always make various choices and will also give up other choices. This does not mean that other options will not happen, they will happen, just in different parallel universes.

Due to different choices, a completely different life has been created. In the real universe you may be poor, but in the parallel universe you have long been a billionaire.

In other words, all things that may happen will happen eventually, just happen in different parallel universes. For example, in a certain universe, asteroids did not hit the earth, and dinosaurs did not perish, and dinosaurs were still dominating the earth, but dinosaurs, not humans.

And such a parallel universe is not far away from us, and it may even be around you and me. It is just that it is difficult for us to communicate anyway. There seems to be some natural barrier between different universes, just like different dimensions!
