In physics, free will is debated mainly in regard to the observer-dependent effects. To eliminate them from quantum mechanics, superdeterminism postulates that the universe is a computation, and consciousness is an automaton. As a result, free will is impossible. Quantum no-go theorems tell us that the only natural phenomenon that might be able to account for every bit of freedom in the universe is quantum randomness. With randomness in Nature, the universe could not have been predetermined completely in the sense that it should be impossible in principle to compute from the big bang or at any later moment whether live and conscious observers might or might not appear there. After all, superdeterminism comes to be either self-inconsistent by assuming randomness, at least, at the initial conditions of the big bang, or untestable and mysterious by pushing every bit of freedom in back to the prerequisites of the universe “designed” in the big bang.

在物理学中，自由意志的争论主要是关于观察者相关的效应。为了从量子力学中消除它们，超决定论假设宇宙是一个计算，而意识是一个自动机。结果，自由意志是不可能的。量子禁行定理告诉我们，唯一能够解释宇宙中每一点自由的自然现象是量子随机性。由于自然界的随机性，宇宙不可能完全被预先确定，因为原则上不可能从大爆炸或在以后的任何时刻计算出有意识的观察者是否会出现在那里。毕竟，至少在大爆炸的初始条件下，通过假设随机性，超决定论变得自洽，
