Im not sure if there is a hole here, but if anyone can find it im sure someone here will kindly point it out to me.
Ok here goes
If at the beginning of the universe all the particles were together and moving at a certain speed.
Would their position in the next second be certain?
Or is it subject to probabilities?
According to Pierre-Simon Laplace if the position and momentum of everything was known,
he would be able to predict the future and the past using only newtons laws of motion.

Now this is clearly impossible to know, however if it is true and everything happens according to the initial conditions.
Does this mean that whatever we do has already been predetermined according to laws concerning the movement of particles?
And therefore although we appear to have free will,
Any decision we make has infact already been predetermined?
Just a thought,
please try to keep your answers fairly simple though, im only just finishing my A levels...
