Can Man Know the Future ?
Transcript
00:00...the motion of planets, the behavior of atoms, and the trajectory of projectiles.
00:06Using mathematical models, we can forecast the weather, predict the stock market's trends,
00:12and even anticipate some human behaviors.
00:16Yet for all its successes, science remains limited in its ability to predict the future.
00:23Chaos theory, for instance, demonstrates that even in systems governed by clear laws,
00:29small variations in initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes.
00:35The famous butterfly effect shows that even the slightest change in the present can radically alter the future,
00:43making long-term predictions increasingly unreliable.
00:46Moreover, when it comes to human behavior, science hits a wall.
00:51While we can predict certain patterns, such as how populations will grow
00:55or how people tend to react in certain situations individually...
