Ravenhair - Predict the Future Lyrics

Can we predict the future?
Maybe with a vast computer
Bigger than the sun and the earth
Bigger than the known universe
With physics deterministic
Plot particle positions
And trajectories as if ballistic
And predict their interactions

But you can't do that says Heisenberg
And the fastest your prediction could advance
Would be the speed of time itself
And the system would have to predict itself
And calculate its impact on humanity
So it would have to contain itself
And programmers hate looping for infinity

I sent out a question
To time or fate or future me
Just seeking information
How will I know the one for me
And I got back an answer
They'll be the next to mention a certain place
And someone did just mention it
Just in the past few days
And I know my answer is wrong
I'm told my answer is wrong

So can you predict the future
In a universe deterministic
You'd think it possible with a computer
Using methods scientific
But one useful piece of advice
A hunch is not gonna suffice
No a hunch just will not suffice
