Assuming determinism is true, if we could precisely simulate the Big Bang and speed it up, then we could glimpse the future. But if we knew what was ahead, we would deterministically try to avoid it, changing our destinies. So what would we have really seen in the simulation?

It is just a common myth that quantum physics is incompatible with determinism. Bohm's theory, Cranmer's theory, the hidden variable theory -- all are potential ways of reconciling the two.

There are a number of interpretations of QM, of course including De Broglie/Bohm and MWs, some of which are deterministic and most of which aren't. As yet there has been nothing decisive (that I've seen) which settles the issue on the correct interpretation or determinism.
