The principles of physics that govern living organisms are identical to those that govern the rest of the universe. But this means that life — and consciousness — are neither "special" nor "unique." And it suggests that anything that can happen inside a living creature can also happen outside living things (if such a separation even makes sense), including awareness. The triumph of "probabilistic" quantum mechanics over Newton's deterministic physics indicates that our conduct is neither predetermined nor predictable. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle prohibits us from ever understanding causation for sure because it appears to be decided at a molecular (hence quantum) level. In other words, we most likely do not have free will, but we have no way of knowing for sure, and we believe we do. We still don't know why individuals commit murder — or much else — despite decades of contemplation and investigation into human, animal, and plant behaviour.
