While there are properties you may not expect, that's because you aren't following the exact cause and effect, (mainly because its too hard to think about)
Things like the game of life (
Link) have emergent properties, but still, if you follow the rules, and know the exact starting conditions, you can predict.
Try the "shooter"; its pretty cool.
Also, what are you referring to about the speed of light? All of the reports I've seen were basically media-hyped illusions.
