The Unpredicted Birdie of Complex Systems
I think there's another level on predictability, which has nothing to do with quantum mechanics. A lot of the work of physics is trying to figure out can we get some kind of mathematical hold on certain systems that we can't apply the basic laws to perfectly. I just wanted to suggest an example of that, a very timely one, and one that I don't understand much about, which is football. Even if you knew everything about every component person in that game, you wouldn't be able to predict what was going to happen. It depends who they were playing, but basically you're right.
