    In 1931, Einstein, in response to questions about his belief in free will, said: "If the moon, in the act of completing its eternal way around the earth, were gifted with self-consciousness, it would feel thoroughly convinced that it was traveling its way of its own accord"pic.twitter.com/p3wErAHdZV

        But the quantum world is not deterministic. So free will may be real after all, although we do not know yet how quantum randomness is connected with consciousness first and then with free will.

        The rules in the quantum world are in scales too small (e-) to have any effect on big objects like a neuron or synapse. And even if it had, it just makes your thoughts random, it doesnt give you freedom. It's as if I'd role a dice for ever action or thought of yours - Sam Harris

        Our free will may appear absolute and inspire our agency. But it is bound by laws of the physical world. And the fact that our world sits atop 4 elephants standing on Kurma, an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu. We’re merely passengers. In long lines. Because TSA agents aren’t paid.pic.twitter.com/sPQ2wSKXxm

        How is the image quality so good? It’s mind boggling that this was taken in the 1930s or 1940s
