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.

Yes, it is possible. The problem is how far into the future you want to see. We can track things and predict their movement, such as planets, galaxies, comets, etc…

The two big factors that make it difficult/impossible are the human factors and not having exact numbers/data.

Think of a person playing billiards. His shots are calculated beforehand to get the ball in the pocket. The difficulty is controlling force, angle, etc… If we were able to reliably calculate/execute that with a robot, you could make the shots very easy to predict.
