I've been following Brian Greene for 15 years , I guess . In my mind he's our modern day Einstein,  just my opinion... no offense to the great late Hawkins . That said the one thing he can't sway me on is free will . Part of it is I have never met a scientist willing to take the stand and say " THAT INDIVIDUAL CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE CRIMES HE WAS WITNESSED AND RECORDED COMMITTING BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE HE DID NOT WILLFULLY DO IT " .<br>   I DO AGREE there are things we have no control over but we WILLFULLY make choices that lead to the moment we are in now . <br>   This doesn't mean our choices can't be forced or coherced by other forces or individuals on some level but we still have a free will to make a number of choices that surround us in a 360 degree reality at every moment .
