>> The general theory of relativity can be used with a great degree of accuracy…. << David, lets just say you could know where everything was at a given moment. Can we assume that we would be able to predict where everything will be in the next moment? Only if there is one possible choice for each and every object. Quarks supposedly can be in two places at the same time, so you might expect that the quark was in two places at the moment before you made your prediction. But it may be that quarks only show up in two places at the same time when in an excited state. If that were the case how could you have enough knowledge to know where a quark might be once it had reached the point of being at two places at the same time. Unfortuneately this can go nowhere fast, so I'm inclined to leave it, unless someone knows for sure whether an object can have two possible courses of action but is not impelled to favor one over the other.
