Assuming that you could plot every action of every creature, plant, pebble, and ocean stream, could you in fact know the future?

This arguement is pointless in being that,
a) IF you knew the position and velocity of every particle in the universe there would be no way of storing this information.
b) Assuming a) is irrelevant, you would then need every particle in the universe to run even one iteration of the calculation required to predict the next sequence of events.
c) Assuming a) and b) are irrelevant, you would cause instant and catastrophic entropy in the universe by running such a machine.
