Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas

CHAPTER

Chaos, Determinism, and Quantum Realities

This chapter explores the dichotomy between chaotic and indeterministic systems in classical mechanics, using the double pendulum as a key example. It contrasts classical physics with quantum mechanics, highlighting the differences between fermions and bosons and discussing the implications for free will amid determinism. The dialogue extends to the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity, examining torsion in relation to quantum field theories and reflecting on the philosophical dimensions of these complex ideas.
