The following is from Pierre-Simon Laplace, Theory of Probability, 1812

Let us imagine an Intelligence who would know at a given instant of time all forces acting in nature and the position of all things of which the world consists; let us assume, further, that this Intelligence would be capable of subjecting all these data to mathematical analysis.  Then it could derive a result that would embrace in one and the same formula the motion of the largest bodies in the universe and of the lightest atoms.  Nothing would be uncertain for this Intelligence.  The past and the future would be present to its eyes.
