<p>Earlier this century in ''The Open Universe : An Argument for Indeterminism'', Karl Popper wrote, "Common sense inclines, on the one hand, to assert that every event is caused by some preceding events, so that every event can be explained or predicted.  &hellip;  On the other hand, &hellip; common sense attributes to mature and sane human persons &hellip; the ability to choose freely between alternative possibilities of acting."  This "dilemma of determinism", as William James called it, is closely related to the meaning of time.  Is the future given, or is it under perpetual construction?  A profound dilemma for all of mankind, as time is the fundamental dimension of our existence.</p>
