Um, ever heard of the 'butterfly effect'?

I can wave my hand, and the change in gravitation will move, at the speed 
of light, throughout the entire visible universe. Changing the total status 
of the universe is that easy. But, as is well demonstrated in classical 
mechanics, let alone QM, is the leetle difficulty called 'chaos'. Even if 
the function were describable (which it is not, due to impossiblity of 
measurement) and all the initial conditions known, it will not be 
computable by anything less than the entire universe, and we just can't see 
all of those bits! IOW fuggetahabouditt....
