Can Free Will be Saved in a Deterministic Universe?
Season 6
Episode 35
Physicists have a long history of sticking our noses where they don’t belong - and one of our favorite places to step beyond our expertise is the question of consciousness and free will. Sometimes our musings are insightful, sometimes incoherent, and usually at least somewhat naive. Which a fair description of this show, so of course, Space Time needs to weigh in physics and free will.
