Hi Tony, you are a fun of both human condition and the science, same as me.. I am curious to know what you think on the following subject: Is the Universe predetermined, or do humans have free will? :o)) Just so you know, I am a family doctor, and 100 % (!) of my patients, those who are over 70, give the same answer to the question I've posed to you.. Have a great day! Dr Jasmine

Is the Universe predetermined, or do humans have free will?
From a physics point of view, just like Newtons 3rd Law. The answer is yes, it is predetermined. That said, do we as humans have free will is open to debate. It may well be an illusion. However, all human legal structure and culture seems to assume we do have such.
As for me, I am of the opinion that we do not know for sure. Nor do we at this time have the technology to perform an experiment to definitively provide an answer to the question. As such I am agnostic at this point.
