According to the space-time graph above , possibilities in the future is in a cone and according to Einstein, this cone cant be passed through.

I know that even it is a cone there are infinitive amount of possibilities in the future, but this infinity, is limited with a cone which cant be avoided. Does that mean fate is real in a form?

Since the standard definition of fate is probably for one event that has to happen independently from whatever you do...

...the cone means that one of all those events inside the start of the cone (one single moment in time) are equally likely to happen. Several equally probable events != one single event with probability 1.

I think he meant to add a sense of pause, in which case "..." would be more suitable.

Also Turkish grammar dictates that you place a comma right after the subject of a sentence. Maybe it was an error out of habit.
