On some objective laws emerging from the assumption of the possibility of predicting the future

Abstract

Objects of the study are structure and evolution of the world lines in Minkowski’s world. The notion of the true world line of the material particle with uniform structure throughout – in the sections of the Past, the Present, and the Future. This can be achieved by substitution of the section of the Future by the branch of the real Future representing ordered multitude of events that will be realized. Studied is the world with prediction differing from Minkowski’s world by availability of the observer’s opportunity of direct observation (predicting) of some events in the Future. It is proved that actions capable of changing the prediction are either non-existent, or will not be realized. It is pointed out that prediction of the future can be done only in such a way and only with such degree of precision that eliminates the possibility avoiding the predicted events (effect of shadowing of the part of the Future). Predicting of one’s own future by the observer cannot be used for optimization of the strategy of his behavior. It is proved that the living beings’ ability to predict future is not inherited by the descendants, including by formation of the special senses. Facts of foreseeing the future can be regarded as predictions only if the following features are present: predictions are not based on the knowledge of the Past and the Present; they are formulated in such a way that eliminates any possibility of avoiding the predicted events by the one to whom they were predicted; no alternative and imminence of the event. Identification of the true facts of prediction of the Future can make the basis for studying the structure and particularities of the Future in world lines.
