No computer, now matter how powerful, can predict its OWN future, let alone that of the universe. Or do I have to prove to you that no computer can predict whether an arbitrary algorithm will halt in a limitless universe? So the universe is definitely not predictable from within. Whether it is FIXED or not is another matter, of course. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
