With ongoing discussions between neuroscientists and philosophers
on the existence, or not, of free will, and with so many people in
the so-called ‘enlightened’ West still believing that their fate is
somehow linked to the movements of the stars and planets, what does
modern physics have to say on the matter of determinism and chance?
Indeed, is our future preordained? This lecture will be a
whistle-stop tour of Einsteinian relativity, quantum indeterminacy
and whether, according to our current understanding of the nature
of time, the future is knowable.
