Free Will and Determinism in Quantum Physics
This chapter examines the philosophical underpinnings of free will and determinism as they relate to quantum mechanics, notably through the lens of prominent physicists like Einstein and Bohr. The discussion explores superdeterminism and its implications for understanding experiments in quantum physics, particularly in the context of Bell's theorem and the challenges it poses to traditional views. Ultimately, the chapter critiques the correlation between free will and a deterministic universe, encouraging a deeper engagement with philosophical discussions around these complex ideas.
