Every action is influenced by something, an action happens when it is intended to. Isn't everything influenced by some other phenomena that itself has been influenced by other events? Then every action I take and every thought that comes in my mind is already influenced by other things, if my environment was different and I my family was differen I would have been completely different, and being born in different family will be possible when somehow i assume that my father being born in that family and that would also be possible by other leading events. The point is if everything is influenced by other things than the notion of what we call free will is destroyed, and many things like violence and other morals are meaningless, I can't explain it completely in these examples but you get my point.

And i know that there are these interactions between quantum particles that are defined as random. But then what created this degree of randomness that differs in many aspects, this randomness may also be influenced by other factors. That should mean that there was a point where everything started getting influenced but that is controversial to what i said. I don't understand. I think my question is changing directions so i should end it here, and hope for an answer.

  • Your family background might *challenge* your free will (to a very great extent in some cultures) but it does not deny it. Very many people have broken with their family's expectations and traditions. – Weather Vane Aug 16 '23 at 21:12
  • Being raised in different family is what i meant. – shubham rajana Aug 17 '23 at 03:45
  • "If everything is influenced by other things than the notion of what we call free will is destroyed". No, at most it is restricted. When you typed your post you were influenced by what you heard, what you read, your biology, etc., you still had to formulate the text. That influences determined it entirely is a leap with no argument for it. With quantum particles, the influences and the randomness are sharply separated, the influences determine available options (eigenstates) and the choice of one is purely random (collapse). Influences are "initiated" constantly, there is no one initial point. – Conifold Aug 17 '23 at 04:20
  • Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Aug 18 '23 at 03:49

Laws of physics describe how past states of processes influence future states. When you rewind back the laws of physics for about 14 billion years, you predict a past state that is so hot and dense that the known laws of physics can't reliably describe it any more, so we can't predict any farther back then that. We lose the ability to make observations before we get there because the universe was full of opaque hydrogen plasma for some time after that. We can only see things that happened after the universe became transparent, and far enough away that the light from them is only just now getting here. Measurements match theoretical predictions insofar as they can be made. See wiki: early universe.
