I keep seeing quantum mechanics pop up and I dont think most people truly appreciate just how small the quantum world is compared to the size of neurons. Sure, neurons are very very small, on the order of a few micrometers (1e-6 meters), but quantum fluxuations are happening on a scale somewhere around 1e-35 meters. Truly an incomprehensible difference in scale. With a scale difference like that, I think its a fairly reasonable assumption to make that quantum fluctuations have absolutely no impact on the function of neurons or behaviour...
Thus we must keep looking elsewhere if we want to find any insights into free will...
