Newton was right on with that equation. It has indeed proven to be the most useful equation ever.

Plus those same letters can still hold in a quantum theory equation:

Free will = microscopic acausality

Well, this topic has indeed been addressed and continues to be refined all the time.

The Teaching Company Course on Quantum Mechanics contains a very good description of the differences. The lecturer begins with a baseball and describes what all would need to be done to it before it could behave like a quantum object. That description is quite enlightening.

The bottom line is that the baseball would ultimately need to be reduced to a situation where no information emanates from the ball or is reflected from it. In other words the ball must be completely isolated from any other parts of the universe in terms of information.

Of course this would be impossible to do with something the size of a baseball, and this is precisely why a baseball always behaves as a macro object.

However, when we get into the operation of the brain, we already know that many of the components that are associated with the functions within the brain are themselves already at the quantum scale. So it should be obvious that no firm line can be drawn between the macro and quantum scales of the brain. It's not like baseball.

I mean, we could look at the overall tissues of the brain as a whole and say that this tissue framework is 'macro'. But that macro framework does not represent the 'quantum' activity that is affecting things that go on within the brain.

I personally feel that we already have enough knowledge of how the cells called neurons work that it's perfectly clearly they can indeed be affected by quantum events.

That's my personal conclusion based on what I know about neurobiology, chemistry, and physics. There's no question at all in my mind that the neurobiology of the brain can indeed be affected by quantum events. I've also heard other neurobiologists and M.D. confirm this view. Deepak Chopra M.D. is certianly one of them.

So for me, it's already a known scientific fact. I don't think any prominent neurobiologist would question this.

You're millage may vary.

Another thing to consider is Bose-Einstein Condensates, which tend to bring the quantum behavior into the macro world. There are reasons that this doesn't violate the 'information rule'. It is also possible that some of the fluids within and surrounding cells within the brain could potentially take on similar quantum behvior in an orchestrated fashion that would also bring quantum behavior into a genuine macro area of the brain via electrolytic processes.

So the potential is clearly there.

It would seem to me that it would be far more difficult to deny it than to support it. To deny it you'd have to draw some sort of definite line and show how that line always holds. But where would such a line even be drawn?

It makes far more sense to assume that there is no line, until one can be found. After all, the brain is ultimately made of electrons, atoms and free radicals. Those are all subatomic quantum entities. How would a definite line between the subtance of the brain and it's macro form be drawn?

How could such a line be drawn?

In a baseball it's easy to draw the line because the properties of the baseball that hold interest to us stem entirely from its macro form only. What's going on at the level of individual atoms within a baseball doesn't affect it's macro form.

Just like in the brain. Our thought processes (which are clearly very near the quantum events) do not affect the large-scale macro structure of the brain tissue. As an organ our brains appear like baseballs, but within them the activity associated with thought goes right down to the quantum level.

It's a non-brainer.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.

i do not think it is a very deep question.

for example, a decision to purchase a blue car instead of a red car
it is solely up to discretion. there is no programming
nor is it a mindless zombie like choice. it is a transient
preference. choosing one color over another for purely
personal, whimsical, or aesthetic reasons is an exercise
of free will.

happens everyday for every thinking being. over countless ever
changing preferences. so what, big deal. randomness has nothing
to do with it.

"In fact, we've even invented the word "willpower" to discribe this very human ability. We have recognized that we have a power of 'free will'. "

Dabra, (Abraca) willpower is not a proof of free will.

Willpower is a mechanism that helps us resist a short-term gratification for a long-term gain.

The psychological lure of long-term gain in these instances do make people seem to choose to reject the short-term gain, but it's actually a well-reasoned trade-off that has both pscyhological- and personal-gain merits. In fact, it has even social advantages, such as being looked up to by peers, for having a willpower.

This is a well-motivated action, and therefore I say that willpower is a logical, forcing commitment, not at all an against-reason or against-emotion force that would be impossible to have without free will.

Is it possible that randomness and free will are different 'wavelengths' of the same condition.

Or the crest and trough of the wavelength of another event?
(I am having trouble translating this thought to english)

Yes, different wavelengths or "density levels"

There are seven levels of "Densities" that exist for all.The highest level is 7 where the spirit or soul is in concert with the Creator.Humans on earth exist at this point in time at the 3rd level with lower entities such as rocks at level 1 and animals at level 2.The 5th, 6th and 7th levels or densities are only where spirits or souls exist without physical bodies or forms.

WTF HAPPENED TO THE 4TH LEVEL ? ? ?

The Human race is gradually moving up to the 4th level.The Reptoids exist on the 4th level which is still a physical level.However, since Humans are in the 3rd density, those beings in the 4th density cannot be seen.The Lizards occasionally appear in the 3rd density, but cannot remain for long

THERE IS NO REASON TO TRY TO PROVE THAT THE WILL IS FREE. THE WILL IS ALWAYS AND NATURALLY FREE. To believe otherwise means that you don't understand what the will is.

Will power is simply the power of the will. The power of the will is the power to direct ones own thoughts and attention. It is the thing that not only controls decision, but controls thoughts and attention consciously.

absence of social contracts. judgements, allows free will, not randomness.

I fully accept this, if only for the reason that I subscribe to the belief that humans are getting more and more dense.

The Human race is gradually moving up to the 4th level.The Reptoids exist on the 4th level which is still a physical level.However, since Humans are in the 3rd density, those beings in the 4th density cannot be seen.The Lizards occasionally appear in the 3rd density, but cannot remain for long

absence of social contracts. judgements, allows free will, not randomness.

"Beyond all the right doings and the wrong doings there is a field, I meet you there," Rumi

How is it that a 3rd level creature could do more the merely guess at the levels above...

Or is that what this is... A guess?
