At work.
Two very interesting posts. I thank you both mr j and cleansed.
In regards to the matter of 'Free will'? As a simple lay man I'm still learning about the concept and at the moment actually have no idea as to whether such a thing 'Is' or 'Is not' or if there should be a completely different question asksd.
As for cleansed assertion that (Paraphrasing) "Reality is running on rails"
I disagree because we 'Know' there exist things within reality that are completely random and non deterministic.
Quantum interactions being one such example. We definitely know that Uranium falls apart in a cascade of succeding elements untill Lead left/the result.
(I often quip that if Uranium transformed into Gold, there'd be a fekton more reactors built
)
Now at no point in such decay can it be said or pointed too as to which atoms specifically nor exactly when such a splitting will happen.
Justt that, after 'X' amount of time. Half of the Uranium atoms will have 'Decayed' into the next 'Smaller 'element.
If some one more knowledgeable would like to refresh my ageing memory in regards to 'Brownian motion' that would be a treat.
Hope my ramblings suffice.
Cheers.
