The Frontal Cortex : Electrons Have Free Will?
What, then, is determining the outcome of the experiment? The obvious yet absurd answer is that the particles themselves are determining the outcome. As Conway and Kochen write, "No theory can predict exactly what these particles will do in the future for the very good reason that they may not yet have decided what this will be!" Of course, most of these sub-atomic choices - the mathematicians call them "ineffectual flutterings" - won't affect very much beyond their own trajectory.

"My readers showed me with their questions and comments that my ideas really were alarmingly alien. The way I think about things, it seems, evolved in such a way that just doesn't match the way most people think about things. I don't know how it happened. It took me years to realize that it even had happened.
For the past four or five years I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to produce a meaningful answer to the question 'How do I arrive at the strange, unexpected answers to the questions people ask me?'
Seed: PZ Myers on How the Cavefish Lost Its Eyes
The Mexican blind cavefish raises the challenging evolutionary question: Does disuse lead to degeneration or disappearance of a feature? Here, an answer Darwin would have loved.
