An interesting take on what's happening in the industry today.
It was Simon Price's personal experience, but I wonder if it's happening more often than not?

Free will is an illusion. We live in a deterministic universe. 

My comments are not in favor nor denial of current science. Only the danger in absolute disregard for alternatives and blind faith in current thought. A closed mind is a terrible waste.

 I am more than open to reading or hearing alternative theories on evolution or gravitation.  I agree a closed mind is a terrible thing and as Carl Sagan once said it's good to keep an open mind just not so open your brains fall out.
Free will is an illusion. We live in a deterministic universe.
Like i said i advised people about books and concepts all my life...

I will help you but YOU MUST READ and help yourself for the thinking processing of information....

The deterministic myth is born from Laplace differential equations interpretation model...
But nowadays we know better about the different kind of differential equations field, for example functional differential equations.... And also the differential laws models of the universe are perhaps now out of date with new discoveries for example about time and information.... Then an algorithmic concept of laws is perhaps and probably better.... In this algorithmic concept there is many indeterministic seashore and many island for freedom exercise....

If you want to know more i can give to you much material to ponder to..... :)

But who need to think when he owns a precious opinions and beliefs and certainty ?

You decide between a serious book or a thriller, you are free.....The choice is not determined at all....Your choice will introduce a new creation in the universe think about that.... The proof is in this article.... i cannot gives too much books to read in a first try.... :)






A short review idea of what this is all about first about his computed billiard model :

« The main interest of the present work is to have identified and quantified, with our different
expressions of Nc, a critical step above which calculations are no more deterministic, meaning that
the precision of initial conditions does not allow to pursue calculations without introducing, among
the multiple possibilities, an arbitrary choice of the final state, independent of initial data. We have
also shown that if calculations are still extended enough in time, whatever state of the billiard could
become a final state.
This raises fundamental questions in the context where information would be really physical and
then its amount bounded. Though it involves a simplified discrete model, the concept of physical
information that we introduced in (7) models a classical type of uncertainty that would be inherent
to any discrete space–time, into which the loss of physical information would no more be a subjective
loss of information but a real loss of information of space–time itself. That is why it is important to
discriminate the genuine multiplicity of histories that could be due to the physicality of information
(of limited density), from a stochastic unpredictability inherent to a practical limit of initial conditions
precision.
A significant result of our work is that we have found that the amount of deterministic information
that can be calculated until the critical step is of the same order as the amount of information that is
contained into initial conditions. Then, we have raised a ‘‘paradox of information’’ in as much as it
expresses a strange situation: the deterministic information that can be extracted from fundamental
laws has a maximum that can be much lower than the entire amount of information contained into
the initial conditions. Beyond the fact that the initial data should have a physical limit, any predictive
model should indeed be able to provide a calculation which plays the role of data compression
algorithm. In particular, it should be able to compress the data relative to trajectories of balls in a
billiard into a set of initial conditions occupying much less memory, yet we observe the opposite. We
think that this is seriously arguing in favor of the idea that our ‘‘known’’ laws of the Universe are in
fact incomplete at the discrete level.
As a consequence, we have shown that dealing with physical information raises a strange situation,
which is to make the final state of the billiard independent of its initial state after a saturation time.
This independence is not so strange for statistical physics which made the choice to base its powerful
equations upon random trajectories, justifying probabilistic calculations. But this choice is not solving
the fundamental problem of indeterminism, which implies that if one wants to describe a unique
evolution among a multiverse of possibilities, one has to introduce additional parameters that play
the role of additional space–time dimensions. So, it raises this question: for a discrete space whose
dimension is Nd, how many dimensions should be added to restore determinism?

ABSTRACT:

We consider the possibility for our space-time to be discrete and for the laws of the Universe to be implemented in a computational way, in correlation with the principle according to which the density of information is bounded. We use the small-scale model of the 2D billiard to study the consequences of such a boundary on ball phase uncertainties, in calculating their propagation after each shock and estimating the corresponding loss of phase information. Our main result is the measurement of a critical time step above which billiard calculations are no longer deterministic, meaning that a multiverse of distinct billiard histories begins to appear, caused by the lack of information. We then highlight unexpected properties of this time step and the subsequent exponential evolution of the number of histories with time to observe that after a certain duration, all billiard states could become possible final states, independent of initial conditions. We conclude that if our space-time was really a discrete one, we could need to add still unknown atemporal laws of the Universe to our computation, so as to calculate extra-dimensions in order to specify which history should be played.

CONCLUSION:

In a discrete space-time of finite density of information, it turns out from our computations that the amount of deterministic information that is calculable using physical laws is of the same order as the amount of information that is contained into initial conditions. This suggests a possible incompleteness of governing laws at discrete level. Our results then imply that a 3D discrete space-time would need 3 additional dimensions to specify final conditions, and even 6 extra ones if one supposes the existence of alternative present paths, like in many-worlds theory. In particular, we have argued for the possibility for final conditions of a sufficiently distant future of our universe to be at least partially independent of our present state, which seems interesting if only because it would preserve a chance for free will.

Though it is attractive to characterize a unique version of our Universe within the multiverse by postulating the uniqueness of its present state, one can wonder how many extra-dimensions are necessary. Our work suggests a discrete space-time could require up to 6 extra-dimensions. This should be interpreted as highlighting the fact that our known physical laws of the Universe could still be incomplete to describe reality, and that we would need complementary laws. As it should be in the present case timeless ones, we guess that quantum gravity emerging from Wheeler Dewitt equation [22] could bring key elements to compensate the loss of information, so as to calculate extra dimensions and then restore determinism.







Are we living in a completely deterministic universe? Probably not....

Is a place exist for freedom ? Probably yes....
djones

Good to hear on the open minds. Speaking of Carl Sagan, he also said, “Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality”. There is room for everyone. It’s been a pleasure discussing with all of you 
I apologize djones....

I am effectively too much serious....

I apologize to all for that....

My best to you.....
