I ask because I recently posted a question asking if chaos and quantum theories shed any light on the philosophical issue of freedom versus determinism. I had only one, rather patronizing, answer, which informed me that: a) quantum and chaos theories are theories (thanks for that) b) I should go to a physics department where people actually DO things and c) Philosophy is of no value because philosophers do not ‘do’ anything.

Would any physicists like to provide an alternative view, or indeed a better answer?

Tom, “the TC (physicist)” in Monroes book Far Journeys, has been a serious explorer of the frontier of reality, mind, consciousness, altered states and psychic phenomena for 35 years.He has steered his research toward discovering the outer boundaries, inner workings and causal dynamics of the larger reality system. He published his My Big TOE trilogy in 2003. It is a logic-based work of science representing the results and conclusions of his scientific exploration of the nature of existence The complete London Lecture is available on DVD at http
