Is The Future Predetermined By Quantum Mechanics?
Season 6
Episode 32
Einstein’s special theory of relativity combines space and time into one dynamic, unified entity - spacetime. But if time is connected to space, could the universe be anything but deterministic? And does that mean that the future is predestined?
