Free will is simply what we called the process that happens when this vastly complex system faces its choice.
自由意志就是 所謂巨大復(fù)雜的系統(tǒng)面臨選擇時的過程
Let me try to explain.
我盡量解釋看看
Imagine a man wakes up at night and feels thirsty.
想象一個人在晚上醒過來時感到口渴
Let's say I'm right about the human mind...
姑且說我對人類心智的假設(shè)是對的
And this man's brain is working according to the laws of nature.
而這個人的大腦根據(jù)自然法則運作
Where exactly might free will come into it?
自由意志究竟何時出現(xiàn)呢?
Let's give him a choice to make.
我們給他一個選擇吧
Either orange juice or apple juice to quench his thirst.
不論柳橙汁或蘋果汁都能解他的渴
As he smells the apple juice,the storm of neurons far..
.當他聞到蘋果汁時 神經(jīng)元一觸即發(fā)
and the memory kicks in.
一段記憶出現(xiàn)了
He is reminded of a special moment in an apple orchard
他想起在蘋果園里的一段特殊片刻
And his mind is made up.
于是他做出決定
So his choice is not surprising.
所以他的決定并不令人驚訝
He had to make a decision.
他必須做出決定
He chose...And that is what we called free will.
他也選擇了 那就是我們所說的自由意志
But it's all still a matter of physics.
但那仍然全是物理現(xiàn)象
Looking back,I certainly made the choice to be physicist
回首過往 我確實選擇成為一名物理學(xué)家
And I certainly feel like I made free will
我也確實覺得我有自由意志
because free will is what we called the complex physics that happens when we decide.
因為自由意志就是所謂的 人在做決定時產(chǎn)生的復(fù)雜物理現(xiàn)象
