How Quantum is Life?

Although quantum mechanics can accurately predict the probability distribution of outcomes in a large number of identical systems, it cannot predict the result of individual experiment. So, Schrodinger and others had hypothesized the existence of free will in every particle which causes randomness in individual results. This free will theory however failed to quantitatively explain the quantum mechanical results. In this article, by assuming the will of particles to be biased to satisfy the goals of the collective system or universe, we mathematically derive the correct spin probability distribution without using quantum mechanical formalism (operators and Born’s rule). Similarly, by using biased will, we exactly reproduce quantum mechanical spin correlation in entangled pairs of particles. Finally and most importantly, using the biased will approach, we develop a scientific justification for the form of quantum mechanical wave function of free particle (which is conventionally and till date a postulate of quantum mechanics). Thus, we prove that the will of the object biased by universe is the origin of quantum mechanical results. So, we can say that mindless mathematical laws of quantum mechanics give rise to aims and intention in complex systems because the microscopic entities from which the larger system is made up of, are biased to contribute in achievement of the collective goal of the system. Finally, in this paper we show that by using our biased will theory, we can find answers to many important philosophical questions such as how life and intelligence could have been created in nature.
