To do that, you’d need to take a full brain scan and simulate his or her thought processes. Yet quantum physics forbids the reliable, nondestructive copying of particles, let alone whole brains. If you could never observe the loss of free will, then you should doubt whether it is ever really lost.

there is always something new we can learn about nature if we know how
or where to look. Results can be surprising but sometimes exactly
what we are looking for. Only testable ideas help defining any
possible empirical procedure.

and above all that
idot crooks like you
interpret experimental results
as is convenient for them and their theory!!!
for instance
if we have
F = Gamma m a
fuckers crooks like you
dont realize that it can be interpreted as
F/Gamma = m a
AND m REMAINS CONSTANT!!
IE
a completely new world of physics understanding that
THERE IS JUST ONE KIND OF MASS !!!
and
NO MASS - THE ONLY MASS - NO REAL PHYSICS !!!
a whole different physics world behind it !!!
just behind ** one single** unequivocal EXPERIMENTAL formula !!
a good example how
wishful thinking is leading to a whole world of false physics !!
including a huge waist of precious human resources !!
