You could extend this further: what if we could "rewind" time, then just let things play back again. Would everything be exactly the same as it is now?
Would "random" particle interactions happen in the same way (making them decidedly not random)? Would the same branch fall at the same time, landing in the same place? Would every coin flip be the same? Would every single decision every human makes be the same?
- anyfoo 7y agoSince rewinding time is entirely theoretical, and assuming physicalism, I guess that entirely depends on whether, in your thought experiment, you allow quantum interactions (those which are posited to be truly random) to play out the same way or not. If yes, yes, if not, not. 8)
