LaPlace was way off. Computational irreducibility is a thing. "Laplace's demon, a thought experiment proposed by Pierre-Simon Laplace, posits that if an entity knew the precise position and velocity of every particle in the universe, it could predict the past and future with certainty. This concept is rooted in determinism."

I did. Loved the show even if a) I don't believe in many worlds b) no you can't recreate the universe in a computer because of computational irreducibility and c) related - I think quantum computing will be a major bust.
