The supercomputer.

[CatharticWeek]

There is a computer so powerful that it can read into atomic physics and predict the future on a macro scale. It shows the future.
A scientist walks up to the computer, and the computer shows him picking up a ball from a table.

Now. I am a staunch determinist. I believe he would have to pick up the ball. But it doesn't make much sense, does it?
If someone knows the future he has the ability to defy it. But if this computer is basing it's results on micro level calculations it should be unavoidable.

Therefore the stimuli that could cause the different choice is the computer. Does that mean the oracle cannot envision itself as stimulus?
surely not. Could it not see the resources being brought together for making it and what that would cause?


If a scientist looked into the computer and saw himself picking up a ball.
What would he do, and why?
