Princeton mathematicians John Conway and Simon Kochen claim to have proven that if humans have even the tiniest amount of free will, then atoms themselves must also behave unpredictably.

Conway and Kochen say that they have now proven that subatomic particles’ spin responses can’t be pre-determined, even within this possible interpretation. “We can really prove that there’s no algorithm, no way that the particle can give an answer that is unique and can be specified ahead of time,
