To d3k_v2 you are the nerd I actually think this is one of the smartest and scientifically hilarious question ever on yahoo
Yes it’s up to the free will of the electron to determine it is position and momentum, ( i am not implying electrons have brain) if it wasn’t, then physicist wouldn’t find it hard to determine what the quantum causes are or even Heisenberg wouldn’t have to come up with his principle of uncertainty.

Hey, in answering this question: Is quantum indeterminacy the "free will" of fundamental particles? -- one must indeed consider if fundamental particles have "free will" -- or intelligence. My immediate conjecture would be that any particle (fundamental or not) cannot possibly possess intelligence. Well, at least most of us don't consider particles to be intelligent, and for good reason. How can matter be intelligent? Particles, as matter, don't "think" -- so it would be preposterous to even imagine that they could have "free will". Most physicists today are finding out that what we term "matter" actually consists of mostly "nothing". And matter certainly is not intelligent. What scientists will eventually learn is that real "substance" is not matter at all, but exists only in a spiritual (metaphysical) form. The real neat thing is that true existence, then, will be seen as always real -- or eternal. Christians and scientists will finally agree on what few people understand today as "Christian Science" -- and this is what the master Christian (and scientist) Jesus did with his healings and purpose in the world. It's important because it's based on love and spirituality -- which, if you get deep enough in thinking about it --- answers all questions regarding science and reality -- as spiritual! Hence this discussion topic of "Religion & Spirituality". Crazy, eh? But nice! :)

Fundamental particles are one thing. Fundamentalist particles are extraordinarily different! They don't understand the concept of free will and tend to follow other sub atomic particles around in a desperate attempt to find their maker.

Yes, if you assume that fundamental particles possess actual cognizance. If purely metaphorical, I'd say they act in a way that would suggest free will, but don't possess the self-awareness to realize it.

No, it is only human's inability to measure the particles physical properties without effecting the measurement.

No, Quantum Indeterminancy, shows how limited our knowledge is of the physical world, and that Schrodinger wrote a complicated equation that doesn't even tell us anything concrete

nope, this question sounds intelligent but really the two concepts are unrelated is any way
anyway IMO "free will" is illusory

I don't know. sounds interesting though. maybe you could explain your question more. I'd be interested in learning more.

When you figure out how to comminicate with the particals, ask them if they have free will.
