I don’t understand this concept of “chaos” in a universe governed by physics.
Just because something is nearly infinitely complicated, doesn’t mean predicting outcomes would be actually impossible. If the universe produces the outcome, doesn’t that mean it’s following a rule set?
Do I fundamentally not understand chaos theory?

You understand it, you just don’t have the final step.
If you had perfect precision data from perfect detail sensors, you could use an infinitely powerful simulation to predict the future. We cannot get any of these things in the real world.
It’s not just “We just lack necessary detail”, but “We can’t actually get enough detail to go past educated guesses and estimates.”
