Predicting the motion of particles in Newtonian mechanics and special relativity
Newcomb's Paradox Realized with Backward Causation
In order to refute the widely held belief that the game known as ‘Newcomb's paradox’ is physically nonsensical and impossible to imagine (e.g. because it involves backward causation), I tell a story in which the game is realized in a classical, deterministic universe in a physically plausible way. The predictor is a collection of beings which are by many orders of magnitude smaller than the player and which can, with their exquisite measurement t…
Classical universes are perfectly predictable
