Bell’s Theorem, Determinism, Causality, Non-Locality, Realism, Free Will Axiom Full Script: Introduction: I have been thinking of writing a script covering the topic of free will for a long long time. I don’t remember having mentioned free will explicitly since…

The Clockwork Universe
Who are You in a Deterministic, Materialistic, Reductionistic & Objectively Real World? And the day came when man conceived of a materialistic, deterministic, reductionistic, objectively real clockwork universe made of space, time, energy and matter governed by fixed, unchanging physical…

The Problem of Free Will
Guest post by Sofia Andrewski: How can free will exist in a deterministic universe? This problem haunts scientists and philosophers alike. My argument is that the universe determines the capacity for free will. Here is the argument: 1.The nature of the…
