Free will. Yes there is speculation that quantum computing may lead us to discovering there is no free will, that we are all just particles reacting in a predetermined way to other particles. Free will is just an illusion and a quantum computer can map out our lives...but imagine the poor sap that has to feed in every single predetermining factor that makes up the prediction...

Nesti, in your discussion, one has to consider if by knowing the future, does it really affect what we do next OR if knowing the future was already a predetermined consequence of our particles reaction to previous particle interaction. Thus changing our future because we see the future (and see something we didn't like) was already a known reaction and therefore no matter how many times we see the future and react to it, its still a known reaction and therefore we have no free will...
Your head will hurt if you think about this for too long.

Did someone mention Shrodingers Cat yet.. he should make an appearance... or will he...
