LaPlaceian Theory

Laplace's theory, often called Laplace's determinism, suggests that if one knew the exact position and velocity of every particle in the universe at a given moment, they could predict all future events and past states with perfect accuracy. It is based on the idea that the universe follows fixed, natural laws, making everything predictable if we have complete information. This concept emphasizes the universe's orderliness and the idea that current states determine future outcomes, aligning with classical physics' view of a clockwork universe.
