      @@TNRPISIQ I'm not entirely sure. Previously I was firmly in the determinism camp of believing there was no free will. Now I find myself leaning towards believing exactly what Derek outlined at the end of the video here. That random quantum events in our brain/body could be a form of free will, that not everything is absolutely predetermined. Though of course there is still the question of who is in control of that pseudo "free will" since it's been shown that one can predict the choices we'll make before we consciously make those choices. So perhaps there is still no free will, no real "choice" being made, but it's also not fully predetermined, there's quantum random chance involved and our brains make up a narrative to match that random choice and make us feel like we made that choice to give us agency in our story. Regardless, I'm fascinated by thinking about this all in a fresh new way now.

      thousands of years ago, the people might have thought the moon and it's position sky as random and here we are traveling to moon. My belief is we can't truly stick to one theory at this point. universe may be deterministic or not. I personally believe it's deterministic. but I also believe it's not deterministic so that I can somehow feel I control my life with the free will I have.

    To be clear, by "free will" I mean that your decisions could not be predicted with certainty, even if someone knew everything about all the particles that make up your body. I am not suggesting you have conscious control over your decisions as even current research shows we become conscious of choices *after* we make them.
    I've given my view on the quantum measurement problem but it's called a problem for a reason. No one has it fully worked out quite yet (or maybe this is as fully as it can be worked out). I am not saying that determinism is certainly false, but our scientific theories and observations as they stand today imply that new information is being generated in the universe and this makes it impossible to predict the future with certainty. Some day this view may be overturned.
    To me, for now, time looks like a zipper. Far in the future the possibilities are wide open, but with every passing second time zips up what might be into what actually happened.

      Don't panic too much. They are getting a lot of this wrong. The second law of thermodynamics isn't actually a law. It contradicts with Newton's second law, which is a law. The second law of thermodynamics is more of a mathematical approximation.
      Also thermodynamic entropy and information entropy are _not_ the same thing. In some ways they are each others opposites, in other ways they are completely different things.

    Nice video Derek! But a couple big quibbles. You don't gain information when you measure the electron's position. What you gain in position information you lose in momentum information. That's Heisenberg for you. On a more general level, all we know about quantum mechanics right now is that it's unitary. That literally means that a quantum state has the same amount of information in it at all points in time. If the universe can in fact be described by a single quantum state, it MUST always contain the same amount of information. The second law of thermodynamics, and the collapse of the wavefunction, only appear true to us because we are a subset of that very same quantum system.

      "Information" in the usual sense is the ability to predict the future. If I have information about your school schedule, I can predict where to meet you at any given time. Shannon information is the opposite: the event (finding you in a particular classroom) is the surprising part, from which with enough repetitions you can deduce a schedule.

    @PasseScience 8 ปีที่แล้ว +117

    +Veritasium Around 5:50 about the argument "against a Laplace-deterministic universe". The fact that entropy increases has nothing to do with the fact the universe is deterministic or not: by example, if you assume our universe is restricted (physically and by its laws) to a single volume in which there is a perfect gas (small balls moving independently and bouncing at the volume limits) you have a perfectly deterministic and reversible universe but nevertheless you'll observe macroscopic phenomenon that still happen in only one direction: the diffusion of such a gas in the volume. The reasons are statistical.
    The entropy of the diluted state is thus strictly higher than the entropy of the same gas concentrated somewhere in our finite volume. And so as it's possible to built the laws of such deterministic universe in which we can still talk about entropy and second principle of thermodynamics, it rules out any argument saying this mechanism proves we live in a undeterministic universe.

      Of course information is different from entropy. Both notions are related but not indentical. If we stay vague we could also say that information is energy, there are also a lot of common points in both notions. Entropy is by definition (it's existence is postulated) a state fonction (meaning it's depending only on the other mascroscopical functions like, volume, temperature etc...) that evolves in only one way. The best interpretation of entropy is the interpretation of Boltzmann: for a macroscopical state of a system correspond a large number of microscopical states, the entropy is a measure of the extent of this set of microscopical states. Imagine a bag containing positiv integers, imagine that the only thing we know macroscopically about this bag is the sum of all numbers. If I tell you then that this sum is 0 you know there is only one microscopic state that achieve that. If the sum is 1, there is n possible microscopic states, and if the sum is 10 a lot of possible microscopic states. Thus those 3 exemples are of increasing entropy. The Boltzman formula is Entropy = k log(W) where W is the number of micro states.

      @Justin schaffold: And you are totally missing my point right? The aim here is just to give an example of an imaginary perfectly deterministic and reversible universe. If you do not like boundaries (and I am wondering why) you can remove them and imagine an infinite universe, or if you prefer an hyperspherical universe or whatever. I illustrate the fact that in such a universe, entropy could still be defined, and the augmentation of entropy principle would still hold. As such a universe is designed to be deterministic and reversible I just highlight the fact that the notion of entropy has absolutely nothing to do with quantum randomness, it's a statistical and emmergent notion that can exist either in deterministic or non deterministic universe. And so I am against the use of it to show anything about the determinism or non-determinism of our universe.
