DaaftRaaft,

You have some duplicated paragraphs on the page, otherwise, appreciate the effort in raising awareness!

What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?

I don’t believe free will is real. I’m not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale....

DaaftRaaft,

Also not very educated on this, but just throwing out what i thought was the outline here:

  1. Tiny differences in position or speed can lead to drastically different outcomes en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
  2. We can only know position or speed en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principleThus, predicting the future cannot reach 100% accuracy.

If this means that we might have free will i cant say, but if the world is wholly deterministic, the above at least underlines our lack of ability to predict it.

Regarding god of the gaps, annoyingly, the claim here is actually that we ”know” that we cant know:

”Thus, the uncertainty principle actually states a fundamental property of quantum systems and is not a statement about the observational success of current technology.”

Of course, only until falsified - field is always changing: scientificamerican.com/…/common-interpretation-of…

DaaftRaaft,

Is there an easy way to ”backup” your subscriptions so that migrating to another instance is less cumbersome?
