Existence of ''free will'' as a problem in physics
Description
The proof of Bell's inequality is based on the assumption that distant observers can freely and independently choose their experiments. As Bell's inequality is experimentally violated, it appears that distant physical systems may behave as a single, nonlocal, indivisible entity. This apparent contradiction is resolved. It is shown that the ''free will'' assumption is, under usual circumstances, an excellent approximation
