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.

No. Maybe you could predict anything that could ever happen in space (with the assumption that there is no intelligent life out there), but here on Earth a lot of events are shaped by human psychology and there aren’t all-encompassing laws or rules for that.

Also quantum mechanics and stuff. As far as I know (and I don’t know much at all, I’ve only dabbled), the laws of quantum physics have a certain element of randomness that can’t give you a definite/predictable outcome all the time.
