Not at all! If you could realy have all of that information for every atoms in 
the univers, you could conceivably be able to predict when a star will apears, 
how long it will live, how it will finish, if it will have planets and how many, 
the exact description of every single one, if it will host any life, and if 
inteligent life will apears. All that for a future star for whitch most of it's 
constituant matter is still contained in several other stars. Star that will 
only start to form in a billion years.

The joke is that: You can't have all of that information, and even if you could 
have it, there is no way that you could possibly process it.
