Haha well done Paul and Rose.

There are so many great articles written about this topic and one of the matrix movies was almost entirely about it.

Now to add some science into this perhaps we can ask does anyone know how you can scientifically test if a choice is made and what assumptions underpin it.

That will get you as close as you can get to the OP answer in a scientific sense and will show the problem with the question as posed.

As it's fairly tough I will give a start point hint:

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
