And what does that mean about free will?

Everything in your life would have needed to line up in such a way for you to even be born, not to mention all of the things that have happened in your life, while seemingly insignificant, that have made you into the person you are today hopefully reading this article, in this specific moment, and in this specific time.

It might seem crazy or Science Fiction but this thought is not as new as you’d think.

Scientific American published an article titled, “Does Quantum Mechanics Rule Out Free Will?” In March 2022. In this article, written by John Horgan, the basics of what is called Superdeterminsm, a theory originally contributed by physicist John Bell. The mind-blowing part is that the Superdeterminsim theory dates back to 1964, and has been dismissed, cheered, championed, and despised, depending on your Scientific Field, Religion, Perception, or Life Experience since the theory was presented.

What if everything in your life that was going to happen in the way it was going to happen, in the time that it was going to happen, and in the exact place was already determined?
