Cosmic system theory-sacred calculator

18 12 years, Laplace put forward his famous view of "sacred calculator". Laplace thinks that if we create the world. If all the forces existing in nature and the detailed state of all the components in nature are mastered by a knowledgeable "sacred calculator", then he can "use a formula to summarize the motion of the largest object and the smallest atom in the universe, that is, there is nothing that a wise man does not know exactly, and he knows the future as well as the past." Therefore, the "sacred calculator" can foresee everything in the whole universe no matter how many generations later.
