Some people suggest that free will is proven by the heisenburg uncertainty principle, which states that you can not predict the outcome of a quantum event. Does this mean that humans can some how consciously tell every electron in their body how to act in order for their desires to be fulfilled by their so-called free will? I think not. I believe that the big bang (first cause) created electrons and the uncertainty principle (effect). Though it may be impossible to predict with complete certainty a future event, it is possible to understand that the future event was caused by a past event, which can not be changed. I don't understand why people don't realize this when talking about the uncertainty principle. It seems that every event is governed by the laws of physics AND, in a sense, hidden by the laws of physics. Am I missing anything here? By the way, this question was caused by Michio Kaku's video blog where he answered a question about free will and used the heisenburg uncertainty principle to prove that humans have free will.
