I sometimes have some shower thoughts when I think about the thought experiment concerning the "Laplace Computer". This is, if a hyper computer would know all information for all particles and subparticles in the universe it would be able to predict the future, as most scientific concepts are deterministic at heart (even the chaotic ones, they just appear to be uncertain due to our ignorance). So what does this mean for our consciousness and free will, is it deterministic or there is true freedom?
However, the Laplace computer falls when considering quantum mechanics because of it inherent uncertainty.
Therefore, I'm left to think that somehow our consciousness and free will may be a consequence of quantum phenomena? Or is our consciousness deterministic?
Probably its just a goofy shower thought of mine, but have anyone thought about this?
Cheers
