→Practical use of free will: Just a bit of advice
science: scientists generally deny free will is real or have redefined free will so that there are no alternative results possible (reference Daniel Dennett, Robert Rosen). But in 2006 American scientists have demonstrated that alternatives are real with an experiment in which they searched a database of 4 elements, without actually running the search algorithm. The search algorithm was only possibly running, meaning a decision was made between the alternatives of running and not running the algorithm, and the decision turned out that the algorithm was not run. They could still functionally use the algorithm to search the database by only possiby, not actually, running it.

:Sir, you may want to avoid writing these huge "walls of text" in the future. People are less likely to read these huge essays on talk pages than simple, straightforward statements. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 12:09, 8 February 2010 (EST)
