The Physics
of Free Will.
And How to Use It
What if having free will is a self-fulfilling choice made possible by the indeterminacy of quantum mechanics? What else can physics show us about various types of choices and their outcomes?
A QUESTION AS OLD AS HUMANITY.
A REVISION AS MODERN AS PHYSICS.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Is the future set in stone?
Or do we get to roll the dice?
For thousands of years, people have asked whether free will exists. During that time, physics has provided guidance as to what is actually possible.
In The Physics of Free Will: And How to Use It, Travis Alvarado explores the tension between classical determinism and quantum indeterminacy—and considers what it suggests for human agency.
The book follows the nature and discovery of the universe to the choices of everyday life, examining how dynamics of physics illuminate types of decisions and personal outcomes.
