Essay Abstract
This paper will discuss two topics and their relationship to the FQXi Forum contest on "Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability". The first topic relates to the Michael- Morrison experiment and the interpretation of the results. The second is the human conception of 'points' and their bearing on physical reality. It is proposed that viewing both subjects combined in a new context can clarify the role of Unpredictability in the areas of physics and mathematics.
