In reply to: mi chamocha 's message, "much more complicated" on 03:49:12 07/11/01 Wed

>>Unless anyone here has a PhD in physics AND philosophy, or has done an incredible amount of reading in both fields, I'd suggest staying away from the issue of quantum mechanics' implications on the free will argument.<<

Why's that? I'm just curious. Shouldn't we try to consider all information available?

>>It's many orders of magnitude more complicated than simply saying "it allows for indeterminism."<<

Again, I'm curious. I'm certainly not a PhD in quantum mechanics, so I'm definitely not an expert.

But I was under the assumption that rise of quantum mechanics destroyed any predelictions towards determinism in the scientific community.

Are we talking about different interpretations of quantum facts here, like the Copenhagen Interpretation, etc?

Please explain.
