These aren't just any atoms ... they're the same ones that construct galaxies, stars, and the vast expanse of the universe. Predominantly, we're made of water molecules and a diverse mix of organic molecules. Intriguingly, every single one of these atoms operates under the deterministic laws of quantum electrodynamics. These laws, known since the 1950s, form the bedrock of chemistry, biology, and by extension, life as we know it. If the laws of physics fully determine the motion of every atom in our body, how could we possibly have free will - or do we have it after all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEducated at Columbia University and the University of Texas, \u003cb\u003eSamir Varma\u003c\/b\u003e pursued his passion for physics under eminent physicists including Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg.
