Why Quantum Physics Ends the Free Will Debate

period, end of story... not quite. READ BELOW! well, i didn't expect that my video would get that much attention, so i think i have to clarify my point of view: i don't know if free will exists and frankly, i don't care. what i know is, that newtonian determinism is bullshit (hence the video) and, that anyone who claims that free will doesn't exist is a fraud. at this point we simply don't know, the science isn't in yet. we have pretty good descriptions of the inner workings of 4% of the universe, and even those (QM and relativity) don't get along very well. (cheap shot, i know...). we don't know how consciousness works either. we can measure where things happen in the brain, but how and why we don't know. and then we have many-worlds theorists, solipsists, holographic universists, time-is-an-illusionists and so on. very nice concepts with little to no evidence. so please don't tell me that you know, because you don't. period, end of story ;-) here is a question for the "no-free-will atheists": does evolution even make sense in a deterministic universe? wouldn't you have to conclude, that, since everything is determined right from the big bang, that there is a plan (kind of) that lead to your existence? how does that differ from a "divine plan?" /discuss i'm an atheist, and i think, atheists should own the free-will argument. it's the religious people who will tell you, that god has an awesome plan for your life, who have prophecies and revelations. bad news for free will ...
