Sign: ASK PROFESSOR SCIENCE
T-Rex: He's a professor! Guys!!
T-Rex: That means he HAS to answer questions or he gets fired!!
T-Rex: Today's question comes from Chip!
T-Rex: Chip writes, "Dear Professor: how is free will possible?? How can my brain make decisions without the natural laws that govern it implicitly determining the outcome of those decisions?" Great question! Dromiceiomimus?
Dromiceiomimus: No idea, T-Rex! It's not my mail!
T-Rex: Technically correct, Dromiceiomimus!
Utahraptor: The answer has something to do with quantum physics, right?
T-Rex: Sure! WHY NOT.
T-Rex: Chip, quantum physics allows the collapse of particle superpositions from high-energy nonlocalities, which can result in emergent, time-symmetric, non-deterministic behaviour.
Utahraptor: That kinda sounded like just a bunch of buzzwords.
T-Rex: Really? BUT HOW CAN YOU SAY FOR SURE??
T-Rex: How can you POSSIBLY KNOW whether I'm BSing or not without researching the field yourself, and then once you know it intimately, emailing me the correct answer??
T-Rex: Hah!
T-Rex: I'd sincerely like to see THAT, please!!
