Quantum physics has long been a subject of debate when it comes to the concept of free will. The different interpretations of quantum theory have led to discussions on whether quantum physics sets limitations on the extent of our free will. Researchers are now proposing a way to test this idea and potentially bring clarity to this philosophical conundrum.
According to one researcher, “Everyone has their own opinion on what is going on behind quantum theory. But it shouldn’t matter what we think; the only thing that matters is what we can prove through mathematics and through experiments. And this is what we are…
