[Verse 1]
\nPurely Newtonian
\n(Laplace\u2019s Demon)
\nPerhaps Babylonian
\n(So ya know… come on)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nGet with the times
\n(Reason that rhymes)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe predictability of….
\n(The future)
\nYou gotta love
\n(The picture)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nRetrocausality
\n(Will you be the death of me)
\nComes to today
\n(In an unusual way)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nGet with the times
\n(Reason that rhymes)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nThe predictability of….
\n(The future)
\nYou gotta love
\n(The picture)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nEnsure (endure)
\nGet with the times
\n(Reason that rhymes)
\nIt’s the modern day
\n(Coming our way)<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE SONG
\nPredictability of the Future
\nWhether the future is “fixed” depends on which branch of physics is applied:<\/p>\n
* Classical Physics: In a purely Newtonian universe, if you knew the position and velocity of every particle, you could perfectly predict the future (a concept known as Laplace\u2019s Demon).
\n* Quantum Mechanics: At the subatomic level, the future is probabilistic rather than certain. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that we cannot know both the position and momentum of a particle exactly, meaning the future cannot be perfectly determined.
\n* Current Research: Theoretical physicists are increasingly focused on “Effective Theories” rather than a singular “Theory of Everything”. Some 2025\/2026 studies have even explored retrocausality, the controversial idea that future states might subtly influence present conditions. <\/p>\n
