“We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its
future. An intellect which at any given moment knew all of the forces that animate nature and the
mutual positions of the beings that compose it, if this intellect were vast enough to submit the
data to analysis, could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the
universe and that of the lightest atom; for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain and the
future just like the past would be present before its eyes." Newton
In contrast, today we think that we may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of both its past and its future in a Novikov loop in time. Our future 2D event horizon hologram 't Hooft cellular automaton may be a conscious super-computer in which all past events are its 3D hologram images - a really crazy idea of course. Is it crazy enough to be true?
