For a long time, physics was a neat and orderly thing. Classical Newtonian physics said that if you know the exact state of something, where it is, how fast it’s going, and what forces are acting on it, you can predict its future with absolute certainty. The universe was a cosmic clock, ticking forward in a predetermined rhythm. But then quantum mechanics emerged and said, forget everything you thought you knew. At the smallest scales, particles don’t have fixed positions until measured. The best we can do is assign them probabilities. The universe seems to be playing dice, with or without our consent. This creates revelatory tension. If reality is strictly deterministic, then every choice we make was already written into the universe’s fabric—resulting in the illusion of real freedom. But if everything is purely random, then choices aren’t really choices at all, just erratic accidents. Neither extreme paints a satisfying picture of free will, but what if reality doesn’t sit at either extreme? What if it operates in the unruly middle space where order and chaos shape each other? We can observe this dynamic playing out in evolution. Genetic mutations, the raw material of biological life, are random. As far as we know they don’t happen for a reason; they just happen. But whether they propagate depends on what comes next. Miles Davis once said that if you mess up a note, it’s the following note that determines whether it was a mistake or the beginning of something brilliant. Evolution works just so. The environment is the expectant audience, shaping which riffs get an encore and which fade away. Over time, nature composes something extraordinary not through a strict playbook or completely random probabilities but through raw, improvisational genius. (Insta wouldn’t let me paste the whole thing lol the rest is pinned in the comments)
