The debate between fate and free will is perhaps as old as human thought. Till the 19th century, this question was mainly of interest to philosophers. But with the advent of modern physics in the 20th century with all its uncertainties in the form of quantum mechanics, this question has now taken a whole new direction and is an active topic of discussion even amongst physicists and neuroscientists. In this webinar, we will discuss what quantum mechanics can say about free will and what it cannot. In particular, we will see that quantum mechanics actually throws up a third possibility which is very different from both fate and free will, and perhaps much closer to the human condition:
