collision prediction


if you can measure every millimeter for density, tensile strength, friction, thermal resistance, mass and velocity, what happens when two objects collide can be predicted with significant certainty unless the objects happen to be humans then, even if you could model the precise electrical charge of each neuron and the spin of each quantum particle it would still not be possible to say anything more certain than "this will be interesting" math fails us, even if we use all the fancy symbols that movie scientists use to write the formulas to prove that they are smart we still can't construct the function which integrates intentions that describes the derivative of attraction or fills out the correlation matrix of hope
