It can never be known precisely what the electrons in the laptop's processor will do definitively. Even with full knowledge of the past and current state of the electrons, the electrons only exist in a state of probability leaving any definitive calculation impossible. Since the fabric of existence determines that things cannot be calculated to a single outcome, occurrence is fundamentally indeterminable conclusively. Under the same precise parallel circumstance unlimited outcomes are possible thereafter. Without the bounds of determination, free will exists. Ready for the real kicker? Time does not exist at the speed of light. Everything made up of the fabric of our existence travels at the speed of light without time (we contrived time as a device to correlate events, our first definition being a day correlating to our Sun around the Earth). This existence is an occurrence without time in which everything that has occurred and that will occur is complete. If everything you have done and everything you will do is complete, everything is also determined and free will does not exist. But Wait! So when unbound to this existence, determination of this existence is complete without free will... but when bound within this existence determination is incalculable from within this existence enabling free will. The permanent impossibility for determination to be known grants us free will. Our universe's internal existence in a state of probability is an eternally unbreakable encryption that prevents anyone from stealing free will. Take what you need from the past and don't fear the future so that you can enjoy free will of the day.
