On the Existence of Free Will

Rene Descartes
René Descartes
 
 (2020-05-03)   The Conway-Kochen  free-will theorem
A direct negation of Descartes'  dualism.

Descartes stated that the human mind has free will but inanimate matter doesn't.  The  free-will theorem  asserts that it ain't so:  If free-will exists at all,  then the humblest component of our physical world  (an elementary particle)  must have some of that too !

Come back later, we're still working on this one...
