You can prove this is true actually, to an extent.
If you get a steel ball that weighs 1 pound and you hold it a foot above a body of water that's 1 meter long and 1 meter deep you can predict exactly where the ripple will be, how tall the will be and how many there will be.
Doesn't the fact that we can predict the future to such an extreme extent tell us that future already exists, or has existed, or exists simultaneously?
Doesn't the fact that we can predict the future from the past say something about time & free will?
