Why Evil Exists in a Deterministic Universe
When King Aethelred ordered the killing of all Danes in England in 1002, his society saw it as justice. Nine centuries later, Nazi Germany justified similar atrocities. Today, we call both events evil.?
But here's a physicist's puzzle: in a universe where every particle simply follows mathematical laws, how can evil exist at all? The answer reveals something profound about both physics and human nature.

1 个月The article argues that evil isn't a fundamental force in the universe, but rather a concept defined by humans, emerging from patterns of physical behavior within a deterministic framework. It suggests that understanding this can lead to more effective strategies for combating evil. So, when a black hole gobbles up Stars??? When a star strays too close, the black hole's gravity can rip it apart, creating a stream of matter that spirals into the black hole, forming an accretion disk. ? The Star was just minding his business like a insect drifted into a web but became the victims of evil apparently for food? All these plants but you need to eat me?
