is there actual proof that the future can be predicted, if so, what is that proof?

If I push you into the Grand Canyon, I predict you'll die.

I predict that this thread will last longer than three posts.

But can you prove that?

Not exactly sure how, but I'll bet there are some math wizzards here who can offer the formula that would prove such an assertion. If only I was smarter, I'd have the proof myself.

Any ideas, anyone?

If you have two watches (with accurate dates) running at exactly the same time and you shoot one of the watches a light year away and back again within two minutes, you can safely predict that one watch will be 2 years, minus 2 minutes faster than the other, therefor predicting the future.

Hereby, you prove (according to quantum gravity theory) that it is possible to travel into the future.

Now, anything that happens in the future which has an effect on the past has already happened. That's the present.

So, get some marijuana and lose track of what the plot is and stop worrying!

I you've buggered up the question.
Can I predict the future?
Of course, anyone can.
Will my prediction be accurate?
Ah, now there's the tricky question.

I've correctly predicted every the results of every Presidential election since 1972 except the one decided by the US Supreme Court. I make these predictions in September of the election year.

As usual; a load of nonsensical bullsh@t from you.

Nothing could be sent a light-year away in one minute, and there is no such thing as 'quantum gravity'.

The only thing you have shown us is that you are out of your silly little mind on crack, and we already knew that.

I certainly won't deny that I'm full of bull faeces, but you are wrong on multiple levels.

Joey Medved and Steven Hawking both study quantum gravity, which is the next step on from quantum mechanics, because they theorize that gravity has to bend the lightcone (or something along these lines...look it up).

As is per usual with republicans and conservatives, you find abstract thought deeply disturbing and therefor can't relate to the example of the watches.
However, sending one of the watches to the moon and returning it has the same effect, but on a smaller scale. It has all to do with acceleration. Again, look it up. Google Einstein, who, I believe used two twins for the example.

The rest of your post is spot on though.

Of course!

I can accurately predict the distance a projectile will travel given the starting velocity, angle, gravity and a few other things.

But you can't be sure.

Emperical evidence, but not a proof.

There's no such thing as a time machine either.

Actually, since the question is: "Is it possible?", it suffices to claim one case to prove it.
