We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past
and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would
know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of
which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to
submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the
movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest
atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just
like the past would be present before its eyes.
