Two Astrophysicists Debate Free Will

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, physics

Does free will exist? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice sit down with astrophysicist Charles Liu sit down to discuss the existence of free will and whether physics allows for choice in our lives.

We explore cause and effect: how does uncertainty and chaos in the universe factor into free will? How important is the illusion of free will to society? What does a society that acknowledges a lack of free will look like?

    Its long been known that humans do not have free will. Basic carnal instincts drive humans to do what humans do. Only one Way to change that, but most won’t accept it.
