Before i begin,
I am a screenwriter, (most of you probably know me, but I'm not going to tell you who I am) and I have recently began writting a new story and it is based on an equation able to predict the future. I found a bunch of weird da-vinci code-ish connections and facts that sorround us with math, but I would like to see if there actually is such an equation (or even a therom* for that matter, *sp?) just something that is hard hitting that I can tie into my story. I do have a really good equation that I made up myself, but it probably isn't entirely accurate and I want the smarties who watch my movie to be wowed as well. The sooner the better, thanks a bunch.

Sorry, but even predicting the weather or where an electron will be is impossible. That is what Poincaire meant when he said, "The three body problem has no solution." Once you get three or more things involved in a situation, you cannot accurately predict anything. This is the basis for chaos theory.

In Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy, the Second Foundationers had a device called the "Prime Radiant" which stored, modified, and projected the enormous psychohistoric equation which they were developing to predict the future of the galaxy. Reading the stories might conjure up a picture for you.
The master and student are in a room, and the mind-sensitive Radiant has projected the "Plan" onto the four walls.
". . . why" - the master looked upward - "see, there!" The whole wall seemed to whirl down upon him. "This," he said, "is mine." A fine red line encircled two forking arrows and included six square feet of deductions along each path. Between the two were a series of equations in red . . .
(from Second Foundation, chapter 8: "Seldon's Plan") Vintage stuff.

ALL mathematical equations, in a way, deal with "predicting the future"; an equation is of ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE, if it does not predict the exact outcome when variables are plugged into it...
I can only assume that your "successful" screenwriting career has involved some field you know better! I suggest you stick with what you understand!

You are a popular screenwriter that doesn't know how to spell theorem and your using yahoo answers to try to find a mathematical equation. Something isn't adding up. Don't you think a well known screenwriter would have some sort of connections with people who specialize in that area?

There are many equations that relate to things in the natural world... But as to predicting the future, I'm not sure.
Shouldn't screenwriters be able to spell???
(mathematical, writing, surround, theorem) Just being picky!

Well, I can predict the future from lots of equations. If I drop my computer I will predict that it will hit the floor with a bang. See, it did! The equation is F=ma
Actually, if you go to coasttocoastam website, I remember some guests on from a couple of months ago that were theoretical physicists and they were working on quantum equations related to time travel and the future. Try doing a search on the site with key words.

No you are not crazy I can do it too.How old were you when you noticed you could do this? It started the same way for me too.when I was 13 I was playing volleyball at school and I knew where the ball was gonna go every time. It is the first time I could do it awake not dreaming. How old are you know and what happened to it?

I would explore the relationships of Pi and Phi.

No equation searched all of google, sorry.
