I received this message from a non intellectual member, but I found it interesting, so count it as an individual post on this topic please This is what she said: sunshineshower
I think that certain actions in the right circumstances can have an effect that perhaps you don't realise. Drop a pen in physics class, as you bend down to pick it up, your teacher walks past and trips over your outstretched arm. The teacher breaks their ankle and can't be in school for a few weeks. You get a student teacher who inspires people in the class to go in a different direction to where they were already heading. Maybe he inspires someone to become a doctor, who then ends up finding a cure for cancer. Yes thats an exceedingly far fetched idea of things, but the point is every tiny action does have an effect. People who missed their planes on the morning of September 11th just got out of bed an hour late, or got stuck in really heavy traffic. That changed their lives forever and maybe the lives of others. Also... if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there it doesn't make a sound. Sound waves don't become noise until they reach an eardrum. Until then they are just waves.

Practically what I would've said..so Im not going to post it.
------- People are inherently stupid. Under the right circumstances they will believe anything.

I completley agree with sunshineshower, although neutral on her sound wave part because I don't know anything about that stuff. I heard of the question though?

I just had to write a paper on this theory and I do believe that it is true to an extent. A leaf could fall off a tree and cause a massive car accicdent killing 10 or if a squirrel ate the seed that the tree grew from 3 years earlier these people would have been saved.

What if at the smallest level the universe is completely deterministic but because of how we observe it we assume alternative outcomes could have happened.in other words what if chaos theory dug into deep enough (small things snowball) it supports universal determinism.
