Mathematical fate; Possible?

Let's say you had a bouncy ball and a cardboard box. Once you threw the ball into the box, is the trajectory of the ball not predetermined? Assuming a finite number of particles in the universe after the big bang, after gravity and strong nuclear force split from this mass as laws, would the trajectory of each particle not be mapped from the onset? I've searched the web and cannot find any information on this subject. If you take this information to be true, even the electrical impulses in the human brain would have been decided far in advance. A little help on this topic from someone with the background in astrophysics or cosmology?

In terms of Newtonian physics you're pretty much right yes, if you have enough information about a system you can predict where it will end up, though for a complex system you would need a vast amount of information. Quantum physics buggers that up though, by throwing various uncertainties and random variables and events into the mix than can throw your prediction off.
