Meteors landing. Roulette wheels spinning. Misfortunes suffered. They can all be unraveled. You can’t name a random event. Because there are no random events. Nothing ever happens without a reason. Everything was determined by something prior. Now, take a computer. Give it all the data that can exist about this pen rolling across the table. Its trajectory, velocity, mass of its component parts, atomic structure. What can the computer now tell you? It can tell you how hard the pen was pushed and it can tell you when the pen will stop rolling. The computer can see backwards. The computer can see forwards. Now do that with everything. Not just the pen. Everything.
