Odd question, why do you ask? Are you hoping to change the past, or predict the future?
If the question is: has everything that will ever happen, already happened? That's (predeterminism), and the answer is simply NO. That would devoid us of any free will (religous speak) or causal effects (more scientific). If our futures are already written, then the egg that breaks tomorrow, has already broken whether I drop it or not, and that just doesn't appear to be true. Cause and effect works in order of A leads to B leads to C = result. I pick up the egg with wet hands, it slips out of my hands, it hits the floor = broken egg. If however all events in history have already taken place, then the egg doesn't need steps A through C to happen...it just breaks, even if I decide to dry my hands before picking it up. Now by all practical accounts, eggs don't just break. History has not been written. Another way to look at it is, if events have already been destined to happen, then "Time" itself is in question, not history. As it stands Time does have a direction, and by all accounts, it has only one, which is forward. Time is an arrow, not a closed loop. So be happy in the knowledge that no matter how bad things get, there may still be a chance that they'll work out in your favour.
Cheers

If the past and the future have already been written then there would be no choice. Your hands would be wet because you couldn't "decide" to dry them. Some people argue that free will is an illusion. Trouble is that no one can act as though that's true.

my answer is , yes everything has already happened , and this has no conflict with not having a choice , I still have a choice , I make things happen , but it has already happened by me . confusing ? maybe . I have made my choices , things are going to happen not because there are forced to happen . whatever choice you are going to make does not change it because eventually the choice that are going to make will happen , because it has already happened . hmm looks like a loop.
sometimes I experience dejavu , in one of them i was shocked I felt it clearly that it has happened already and it was going to happen . even next things that i would do , even thinking after dejavu , getting shocked , all happens exactly as i had experienced.

That does not mean that could not change sometime in the future.
