if everything obeys the law of physics, is it theoretically possible to predict the future accurately if we know all of such laws?

Edit: by predict the future, I mean predict every little event and it’s consequences in future, the human history and everything.

Not everything does obey the laws of physics. Well, in the physical and biological senses, they all do. But that’s not the point.

You’re asking about predicting human history. That’s not subject to the laws of physics; it’s subject to human behavior.

And human behavior is definitely not subject to the laws of physics. What a person can physically do (eg.: running, but not flying) and biologically do (eg.: consuming food, but not photosynthesis) are.

But how a person will behave is not. There is nothing in the laws of physics that could lead to the conclusion of you asking this question in the first place, nor is there anything there about me answering it.
