Is that the latest update from CERN? Nope, not even close, and the thing that pisses me off is that we actually have a thread that followed it,, had you cared to read that..in case you missed the news, and only if you actually gave a shit, which you apparently do not.
Notions of non-existence? I'm afraid that's not how it works.
Oh boy, what you mentioned above re-enforcing your next point. We warned you about assumptions didn't we?
Quantum, he said quantum! That settles it, free will is a quantum effect, and anything quantum can be said to exist even in the absence of evidence. By the by, it;s called observer effect, not consciousness effect. The observer can be damned near anything. The cosmos are still safe from those who would will them into being that which they are not. Why are you attempting to source your science from a philosopher anyway?
Open, yes, open to whatever you can dream up at a moments notice..no. You'll need more than what you've presented.
