Physicist Michio Kaku weighs in on the oldest debate in philosophy -- are our actions determined, or are they freely chosen? -- using principles of physics.

 

If he is right, then so is Jean-Paul Sartre and our actions are indeed free -- whether we like it or not. Terrifyingly free, because we are totally responsible for the effects of whatever we choose to do or not do, from eating a hamburger (and keeping the ranchers in business) to the votes we cast in elections to getting into a bar fight that seriously hurts someone.
