Stephen Hawking once theorized that this was the case. He has since repudiated this position because he no longer supports the "Big Crunch" argument. However, if the Big Crunch can someday be demostrated to be correct, then the answer to your question may well be, "YES!" Only time will tell. Stay tuned for further developments...

According to classical physics, using the fundimental laws of physics it is possible to state how every particle will act from the big bang until whatever the fate of the universe is.
While this may seem fine on an everyday level, at the quantum level (the domain of particles) things are very different. There is a fundimental law of quantum physics that the amount of uncertainty in an observable experiment must be greater than Planck's constant/-i . Plus the quantum world has been making scientists laugh and cry for just over a century with it's mind boggling properties. This means that at the particle level it's impossible to state what a particle is going to do in the future.
The future isn't written in stone.

interesting question. it has been discussed a lot since if we accept that then we can only predict our future and never change it. it is very interesting among determinist and the way they treat this problem.
as far as i am concerned thar is only the past. the present is lost by the time you thinlk of it and the future is directly related to the past.
from a philosophical point of view only the past exsist. but the problem is for those that lived in our past that can be determined we are their future so future exists for us but not them if. strange
on the pshysic point of view when the universe collpase under it own gravity and expansion then it will sart to shrink and return to its original big bang state till it will start agian the same proceudre.
therefore is there is not somehting to chage the pathse the configuration the topology everything that happens has already happend before and will happen in reverse and then it will happen again.
these are extreme suggestions . first there where speculation then there were more speculations and then came cosmology.
what i will suggest is to live your future day and mak thing happen than wondering if they have already happened before.

Depends possibly by what you mean.
Obviously, events are occurring right now & will continue to occur as long as the universe exists.
If you mean has every different thing that can happen already happened, it is more complicated. The Bible (Ecclesiastes) says yes, but at some level, the answer is still no. for example, some time in the future, we may send a manned mission to Mars. This hasn't happened yet.

In the present moment, yes because once we say we are doing something it has already been done. In the future, who knows... if your question proves true then humans are basically flesh and bone robots, slaves to fate.

Since I'm a believer I'll answer:
Everything will happen at the end of time.

Ahhhh...has tomorrow already happened??? Am I missing something here?
Is this a religious question? If so, then just make up anything you want, and say you're right. No one can argue with that.

Has it happened to you?
I am sure it hasn't happened to me.
Live the adventure, and don't sweat the small stuff.
Moral of the story?
It is all small stuff.
That is the story of free will.
