I have heard it said that in classical physics that if one knows all the particles of a systems momentums and positions, that the evolution of the system can be completely known. I would imagine this also would have to include the nature of all the forces acting on the particle. Also, for example -- how would one know the total kinetic energy of the system without knowing the masses of the particles. Is it possible only predict future positions and momentums from this set of initial conditions. I hope this question makes sense.
