Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The theories aren't meant to strengthen free will. They say the opposite. That free will is an illusion caused in part by all the random cosmic particles colliding with the particles that make up your brain.
I don't think it works the other way either, I don't see why anything in quantum mechanics specifically would give any more credence to determinism than classical mechanics which is also deterministic.
Because if your thoughts themselves are just caused by quantifiable particle collisions on any scale, it would diminish the notion that you actually have free will. Thst even your thoughts are not inherently from you. That they are just another thing caused by deterministic forces, and could thus be predicted. Like fate.
