Freewill in determinism

sorenbarrett

Drifting smoke in wind is broke, where will each particle fall
Physics spoke, forces poke, so many calculations to call
Temperature, humidity, weight, rigidity, size big or small
When variables approach infinity, emerges divinity, freewill is seen in all

    Nature’s endless complexity defying exact prediction and chaos giving rise to a sense of the divine and hints of free will. Nicely written.

              A thoughtful piece. I have never been able to choose between free will and determinism. Like the great American Philosopher Forrest Gump once said: "I think both are happening at the same time." Clever how you linked it all to Physics. Wonderful

                Thanks so much David for the review and understanding. We live in a world of illusions that from time to time impact our lives and view of the world, Your comments are most appreciated my friend

                Maths runs the world and nature is at the top of the tree doing what she does brilliantly.
                Her greatest job will be rebuilding when the humans finally obliterate each other.

                  Thanks so much Paul for the read and comment it is most appreciated. Yes the mix of Newtonian classical mechanics and Quantum Mechanics do not have a bridge that unifies and so determinism and free will. But when pushed to the limit of infinity there is an illusion that they fit.

                • Thomas W Case

                  You let science wrestle the sky until it tips its hat to something larger.
                  There’s grit in that last turn—where equations fray and mystery steps in.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Thank you so much Thomas for your review and understanding words of comment they are deeply appreciated my friend

                  • Lorenz

                    I believe in the freedom that determinism allows us !

                    • sorenbarrett

                      You capture it perfectly Lorenz Thanks so much for the read and comment

                      Loved the brevity and pointedness of feel in this 🕊️🙏🏻

                        Thanks Cryptic your words are most appreciated. Sometimes brevity it the best way to get people to read on a Sunday

                        We will all end up in infinity soren, see you there.

                          Thank you Andy for your review. Being infinity we are already there. Appreciate it my friend

                        • Tristan Robert Lange

                          Soren, the propulsion of this is what grabbed me. “Physics spoke, forces poke” keeps it grounded, almost mechanical…then you open it wide with infinity and divinity. That final claim that free will is seen in all…that’s the real spark. Tight, thoughtful, and powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                          • sorenbarrett

                            Thank you so much Tristan your comments are most helpful and cherished. You are most appreciated

                              So many educational rhymes my mind almost blew up. Nice job.

                                science is an exact prediction, and yet the interaction between science, nature and free will defies all logic. so this is where divinity steps in i feel..

                                • sorenbarrett

                                  Thank you very much for the review and interpretation it is most appreciated and valued. When extreme limits are approached we sometimes need a fudge factor to explain the difference between what we see as predicted and actual outcome

                                  • NafisaSB

                                    agree with you here..
                                    thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem
