What would happen if earth started spinning in the opposite direction?

It seems like most people here are retarded.

Let me set the record straight, you as a human have a brain, and that brain is programmed to make decisions from genetics, and experience. Determinism does not inherently mean that your brain is no longer making any choices, it just means that those choices are merely stemming from historical events and interactions between every atom and molecule in the universe which led up to your brain deciding that making a certain choice is the correct one.

As an example, if you are in literal empty space and the universe was entirely empty, and you threw a ball from your position, you could predict the path of the ball relative to you very easily, its not going to change, and its relatively simple physics. Now lets say you take 10,000 balls and release them all at once. They will collide and interact, but theoretically if you could measure the state, velocity, and interaction of every ball at one point after release, you could use a computer to predict the bath of the balls to an infinite time in the future, its just using physics, and the predictable interaction between the balls.

Now you could further increase the complexity of systems you analyze but if you were theoretically capable of capturing the data for that system and you had a method of calculating with it it wouldn't matter how big. When you look at a human, while extremely complex, its simply made of atoms and molecules that make up cells, and those cells and molecules interact and come together to form organs, bones, the human brain, etc. If we captured all the data in the universe, and calculated the result, theoretically it would simply be "predicting the future". Because while the human brain is so complex that you cant simply write a formula for it like the ball, all of that complexity is built off a system that is based on that simplicity, like the 10,000 ball system.
