In other words, we cannot predict future states without running the entire process. I agree with him that we can know the answer in advance only if somehow we can simulate a process at a faster speed. Given that the universe runs at the fastest speed it can run, there is usually no way to short-circuit the process. However, we have the benefits of the billions of years of evolution that have already taken place, which are responsible for the greatly increased order of complexity in the natural world.
