Modern science has begun to treat free will as a comforting illusion. Join leading cosmologist and collaborator of Stephen Hawking, George Ellis, as he argues that this is a mistake. Free will is real. He argues that genuine choice emerges from complex systems, where causation runs both upward and downward. The initial conditions of the universe did not embed iPhones or Boeing 747s; they can only have been the product of human choices. Ellis insists that true science leaves room for intention, accountability, and free will.
