Document Summary
Einstein: mass curves space, explains acio in distan (the ability of the two objects at large distances to still have an effect on each other, ex. The ability of the sun to still have a gravitational effect on pluto: we base time off of movements in space, space is not an absolute, thus time is not an absolute either. Quantum physics: deals with the very, very small, states that there is an indeterminacy in that initial conditions and relevant forces lead to a range of possible results, range of possible results is on a probability curve. Plank"s constant: 6. 64e-34 joules/second: measure of work. If the world were to operate solely by newtonian physics, it would suggest that we are not free and that every moment of our lives is predetermined. So, philosophy answers/explores the question of how/why we make the decisions that we do (fate vs. free will)
