This is a very serious and interesting question for people who love to think.So, ake your time to read it. I posted the same question yesterday--but I am elaborating this in the new post.
Let's make a consistent assumption or hypothesis:
"Every event in space-time is unique." That means every incident
in past,present and future can have only single value not multiple values. This seems quite obvious because-"tomorrow just at 12:31 pm at the crossing of Tago Street and Mando Steet a car with number NY786654 will pass through" this is an unique event(although we don't know it until it happens--this is another assumption but we agree that an unique event will happen in some future space-time with or without predestination). Although, multiple values can be assigned to a future event
but that implies probability and our ignorance about the future(our ignorance about the future is actually also an assumption which seems obvious).
Also, let's make another hypothesis:
"Every event is connected by cause and effect."
Now, let's say that somebody knows what will happen in some particular future. Now, he decides to change that event. What will happen? According to the second hypothesis--he will either forget
his decision or some unknown force will prevent him to change the event[1].
Now, think of a particular situation-- The person
saw the future of a piece of paper in snap-shot(He saw that piece of paper on the top of a table in the house of one of his friend in a party at 11:45 am and 12:45 am Monday September 29 2006 in NY city).
So, he arrived at the party before 11:45 am and the moment(11:45 am) he saw the piece of paper--he challenged the people in the party to burn that piece of paper within 30 minutes(that is before 12:45 am).
What will happen if the above two HYPOTHESES holds??
