Penny is great. The idea she's referring to is commonly (but not universally) held by theoretical physicists and it's wrong IMO. I accept that there is a non-zero probability of quantum tunnelling but this doesn't scale up to ordinary objects such as people. There is a zero probability that you w...

Of course gross consumption is part of the problem but, as David Attenborough points out, increasing population pressure makes all our environmental problems worse. Too many people means shortages and a lower quality of life for most of us. We need incentives for sensible, sustainable consumption...

We can be smart, sensible and considerate but it seems to me that socio-economic selection favours those with narrow minds, big egos and a lust for fame, power and wealth. Hopefully we will manage to reach civilisation before trashing the planet!

commented:
The error made here is to neglect the fact that physics, which currently only allows determinism (or randomness), is not quite complete. Agreed that there is no ghost in the machine but the conscious part of the machine (the brain) is not deterministic: we do have free will, it is no illusion.
