predicting the future

[taylrl]

If we were able to know enough, information about any future event, we would be able to predict the outcome. e.g. if you knew all of the information regarding the lottery.e.g. weight of the balls, coefficents of friction, speed at which the rotating arm spins etc. then by loading the information into a computer you could predict what no.s would come out. This is already being done to a certain extent with predicting weather systems etc. in supercomputers. if we were to understand more about chaos, would we not be able to predict the future from any event, as they are all connected in a chain. Any ideas on what this means regardng fate and free will?
