'''Laplace's demon''' is a thought experiment described in 1814 by physicist and philosopher [[Pierre-Simon Laplace]] in which he evisions a being with extremely vast computational power such that if it knew the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe then it can percisely predict the future evolution of the universe. This thought experiment was formulated to question the existence of [[free will]].
