Free will and the necessary evil

[Jehanne]

Maybe the Universe is its own cause?

I confess I don't know how that would work.

I suppose someone who believes strictly in the PSR would think that there is a reason for the universe to be this way, rather than another way, or not exist at all. But that brings us back to metaphysics, not something we can solve through experiment.

Likely such will fall in the same category as, "Moving clocks run slow". Consider such from the vantage point of two observers who are moving relative to each other.
