Laplace's demon: Theoretical determinism in the universe

Could Laplace's demon to be the theory of everything in the universe? Evaluating a counterfactual to free will: What is Laplace's demon? Attempt to both prove and disprove Laplace's demon Steelman Laplace's demon and causal determinism – are they logically possible, even if they're physically unachievable within our universe? Highlight the potential conflict between determinism and the limitations imposed by the laws of physics themselves See also:🧵https://x.com/AnthPB/status/895114612563218432 This podcast is AI-generated with NotebookLM, using the following sources, research, and analysis: ⁠A Class of Deductive Theories that cannot be Deterministic: Classical and Quantum Physics are not deterministic⁠ (Reznikoff, 2012) ⁠A Contemporary Introduction to Free Will⁠ (Kane, 2005) ⁠A New Kind of Science: A 15-Year View⁠ (Wolfram, 2015) ⁠A philosophical essay on probabilities⁠ (Laplace, 1902) ⁠Chaos: Making a New Science⁠ (Gleick, 1987) ⁠Complexity: A Guided Tour ⁠(Mitchell/Toroczkai, 2010) ⁠De Broglie–Bohm theory⁠ (Wikipedia, 2024.10.23) ⁠Does God play dice?⁠ (Hawking, 1999) ⁠If the Universe Were a Computer⁠ (Minkel, 1999) ⁠Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics⁠ (Bayes, 1956) ⁠Information, Physics, Quantum: The Search for Links⁠ (Wheeler, 1989) ⁠Laplace's demon⁠ (Wikipedia, 2024.10.23) ⁠On the origins and foundations of Laplacian determinism⁠ (Strien, 2017.10.04) ⁠The Fabric of the Cosmos⁠ (Greene, 2004) ⁠Theories of almost everything⁠ (Binder, 2008) ⁠Ultimate physical limits to computation⁠ (Lloyd, 2000) Not investment advice; do your own due diligence! # physics thermodynamics quantum mechanics quantum theory chaos theory black holes Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
