If somebody could see far into the future, in that case, does it mean that the future is predetermined?

and that we're just walking a predetermined path? or do we still get to change our destiny, choose from different paths, and only the end result will the predetermined one?

That would be the logical inference and of course is if that were true there would necessarily be some entity that was predetermining the future. But as the great Yoda has said, The Dark Side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is.'

@TheConstantGardener I don't think it necessarily needs to be somebody to write the path for us. Would it? Just somebody seeing 100 years into the future, just like you'd remember a memory from when you were a child.

@Dan193But if that future would be true then an infinite number of variables would also have to be under some control for every second of time.
