Re: just another example
In a similar vain, this chaotic nature is also why weather predictions break down a depressingly short distance in the future. Even if you could re-wind the whole thing to a ”last-known good’ then let the weather run forward again, there is no guarantee you will get the same result 100% exactly. It’s not impossible but it is highly improbable as to be virtually impossible. The weather alone is a good argument against the type of determinism described.
