Will and i went to see the new Ben Affleck movie Paycheck last night. It was a good movie from the same guy who wrote Minority Report and Blade Runner. Without giving the story away, it had to do with the ability to be able to predict the future. Overall, it was a good story, good action and not overly predictable.

On ride back, Will and I were talking about some of the holes in the movie with respect to Einstein's ideas of relativity and the future. In a nutshell, Eistein believed that you could glimpse into the future, but that there were an infinite number of futures, each permutation defined by every combination of potential outcomes in every given situations. This results in an infinite number of futures. Will shared with me a really interesting idea he'd had tying this idea to understanding God's sovernity and our free-will coexisting - possibly the smartest thing I've heard come out of Will's mouth. God knows the future, every infinite purmutation of the future that can exist, however we decide which path we will take - hence our free-will. God is infinite enough to understand the impact of our actions, their outcomes and the resulting paths. I'm sure Will and I aren't the first to think about this, but it was good food for thought.
