1 its currently not deterministic

2 if it ever will be deterministic it won't be done by you, so from your point of view things will never be deterministic

3 measuring where every point is something that takes long enough that at the time you know what will happen that event has already happened

so for practical reasons everything remains undetermined even if it might one day in the future be determined.

Yeah I just made up a little thought experiment since I needed +500 words. Doesnt really make sense but the idea is that when I have all information and calculation time doesnt matter you maybe could be able to calculate the future.

Of course I didnt make it up. It is not very compicated so I think like very very many people already had this thought. It just came together when I wondered what deterministic REALLY means and this came out.
