Is our fate determined?

1.0 CAUSALITY 1.1 Causality within physics The task of the exact natural sciences, particularly physics, is not just the termination of bare facts within our world, but specifically their meaningful interrelationship with one another. Their mutual conditionality and dependence is revealed, that is to say, an obvious functional coherence between the conditions of the same constructions is determined at various times. Events are thereby conceived within the relationship of cause and effect to one another. Whereby the cause happens earlier and the effect later. An event means that something changes and things can only change when something of a physical size exists and when something we call time passes. Time, and so for instance also its lengths, represents a so-called physical basic size that cannot be equated with something simpler and is therefore not amenable with an explanation, any explanation with the equation to something simpler. Time, like other physical basic sizes, can only be measured, that is to say, compared with standard time. The discovery of an obviously functional coherence, an obvious dependency between the various conditions within an event (initially in unanimated nature) and the establishment of the concepts of “ cause ” and “ effect ” lead to the conclusion and assertion that the same causes always have the same effects and that in reverse, that the same effects are always based on the same causes. This fact is based on experience and it is called the principle of causality or law of causality. The law of causality is indeed the prerequisite in regards to the possibility of studying nature. Simple conclusions would not be possible without it. One can express the law of causality also this way: If all the variables of all the things involved in a natural process are known at any given time, it is virtually possible to calculate its future, but also its past course, in all its details. To predict what will happen under specific circumstances is however the most essential task of physics. The concept of “ determinism ” is often applied instead of the concept of “ principle of causality ”. One will then say that with the presence of the necessary prerequisites, the future can be determined through the past and vice versa. This reversal, namely that the future or also the present can be used to determine the past, is generally not condoned in regards to the concepts of cause and effect, at least not always within the linguistic usage of everyday life. One has a vague idea that a cause must be some existing “force” that has the ability to effect something, whereby the “effect” happens during the course of time. One has gotten used to the idea that the effect always comes after the cause and not the other way around. This so extremely important and in its consequences far reaching principle of causality applies in so-called macrophysics , ergo in the branch of physics wherein a multitude of molecules and atoms participate in the processes. This especially applies to classic mechanics and in particular to the mechanics of the heavens also. But a limitation is already in place here also. The period of time a calculated prediction applies depends on how accurately one knew the initial conditions one bases the calculations upon. But as it is principally impossible to ascertain the initial state of a concluded physical system with any or even absolute accuracy, one cannot make an absolute statement about the fate of a system in the very distant future. The absolute determination of macro-physical systems have therefore to be
