# LAPLACE DEVİL :

According to the theory, Laplace's Devil is a virtual entity that knows all the forces in nature at any time, together with the positions of the objects that make up the universe, and thus can know the future of the universe. According to him, there is no such thing as chance, it is certain that events defined as chance will occur. Because these events occur as a result of some situations. The situations mentioned here are linked to various physics law

NOTHING İS UNCERTAİN:

When we throw the coin, it is not due to fifty percent chance as we think the coin or head; It depends on the angle of our hand holding the money, the environment in which the money is thrown, the temperature, the substance from which the money is made, the size of the money and the strength of the money. It is possible to find another result other than calculating this. However, the human brain cannot do this. This idea, which argues that there cannot be uncertainty, that everything has a known or unknown cause, is called Uncertainty.

According to this view, there is no such thing as luck. It's not luck that changes the direction of our lives, it's the small changes we make. This thinking is something that most of us know very well, "The flapping of a butterfly in Africa can cause a hurricane in America." It leads to the butterfly effect theory, which is tried to be explained in words.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

ty for this information. i often heard the words "Laplace's demon", but never bothered to check what it is.
your note gives a good short overview.
you already mentioned the contradiction: the butterfly effect. this is not just about our ability to measure. it means that there are events that cannot be predicted, no matter how detailed the measuring is.

Thanks for the tip I wanted to share a clickable post but just couldn't (I'll fix it)

quantum mechanics enters the chat

So where does quantum mechanics play a role here?

the uncertainty principle contradicts the statement

- 6 months, 1 week ago

Ah yes, the oldest trick in the book.

I have many statements to contradict this and this may cause some major controversy but here is one:

According to the theory, LAPLACE DEVIL is saying that the making of the universe has nothing to do with luck. Furthermore that the Big Bang theory was caused due to something. So now we have two possibilities:

1. This has something to do with God

2. There was some sort of (chemical) reaction out of something that caused all of this.

Even if it was a chemical reaction, there would still be chance in it happening so this has luck involved.

Basically it is saying that the chance of you existing was about 1 in 10^2,685,000, which is 1 in 10 followed by 2,685,000 zeroes.

So ultimately you are saying that God is real.

Correct me if I am wrong

"asically it is saying that the chance of you existing was about 1 in 10^2,685,000" you said

Maybe "10 ^ 2.685.000" has had big bangs many times and one of the miracles is our

And I did it to change your perspective and there is no side I take

True but the chances of chemicals even being present has luck in it

(And I guess here philosophy comes into play)

yes i guess there is no scientific evidence on this

So what we say is empty because we both have their own ideas ( and it's really a brain-burning subject )

- 6 months ago

True but still.

I agree about the fact about all the other bits like the coin flipping, etc, but I think we can agree LAPLACE DEVIL might be wrong about the making of universe without further information for now; I supose.

Thanks for the brain trainer btw. :)
