I agree with Phluck. IMO free will doesn't exist, but it's amazing how we feel that it does exist.

I believe that the universe is a closed deterministic system in which everything can, ultimately, be explained by purely physical causation. All particles have a position, direction, speed, mass, etc. If two particles interact, nothing random will happen, so the position, direction, speed, mass, etc can be calculated(if we know all physical laws) and are just a function of time. In this way we could make a pretty good universe simulator, but it won't be possible to make a perfect universe prediction computer because this computer can never compute all particles in the universe because the computer itself exists and it can never predict his own predictions.

I'm still thinking about this all....

Edit: ^^^ all spelling errors are an effect of the interaction between particles in the universe.




Free Radicals...? Quantum Physics...?
