Quantum physics strongly indicate a non-deterministic universe. In a non-deterministic universe free-will is at least possible - though currently there is no strong evidence in favour of either it or pessimistic compatabilism.

I believe that field of science is far too immature to draw conclusions on that level.

 

 

That the universe is non-deterministic? Quantum mechanics isn't actually an immature field of science - perhaps not as well understood as classical mechanics but more than mature enough to strongly indicate a lack of determinism in the universe. With quantum you never know where a particle will be - only the probability that it will be in an area - this by its nature violates determinism. The only way to reconcile quantum with a deterministic universe is for there to be hidden variables and there is nothing to indicate that this is true.

Could be an unknown variable. Time will tell.
