  • The best way to find whether we humans do have free will or not is by understanding more about how actually our brain functions. Is there any particular way that if electrical signals can make someone take decisions in a particular way.

    How do you define free will for yourself? Do you believe that humans really have free will? If we don’t, do you think this presents a challenge to human notions of morality and ethics? Explain your answer.
    Free Will: Ability to consciously and independently take any decision without any outside interference or influence. Humans having free will depends largely on what kind of decisions is being taken. Yes, one can argue that whatever we are doing is not our own decision so it doesn’t matter what we end up doing.

    Obviously, if there are any big claims it should be supported by big evidence. And it is the moral responsibility of the scientist.

    Well, that has been the general trend in science after all. What we thought once to be true and fundamental eventually gets replaced by a better model. String theory is asking some very fundamental questions and trying to unify all laws into one fundamental law or unify physics.

    The idea of fundamentality: The direction in which science is progressing it is ripping everything apart to its very core, to its very nature, to its identity. Honestly, it feels like that there is no solid ground beneath and yeah it feels uncomfortable and if there is nothing fundamental is there anything real?

    Space not being fundamental actually does make sense. We are yet to unravel lot mysteries for eg. how dark matter, black or warm hole interact with the space is still unknown to us, even the bending of space by gravity.

    Well maybe we need to give up or modify some of the fundamental ideas but not necessarily all the fundamental ideas are wrong. Honestly the more you learn or experiment the things that we knew to be a fact seems to be completely false. But going by this logic we will never have anything fundamental or anything concrete.
