Spacetime Physics and Free Will

This volume is the culmination of a collaborative intellectual endeavor devoted to the relationship between spacetime and free will. The contributions assembled here capture the breadth of this evolving dialogue, presenting viewpoints ranging from classical interpretations of Minkowski spacetime to contemporary proposals concerning emergent geometry, consciousness, and the physical foundations of agency. As Minkowski’s discovery of the spacetime structure of the world implies that there is no free will in spacetime, it constitutes the greatest intellectual challenges humankind has ever faced. This collection of provocative essays will be of deep interest to physicists, philosophers, and any reader seeking to understand the nature of physical reality and human agency.
