Fate or Freewill?

There are many believers of fate and freewill. One group argues that everything that happens in the world has been planed ahead of time by some powerful entity. The other group thinks that everything happens in this world is happening on it own, and every little event that occurs has a impact on the future. physics has a neat way to supporting fate.

Suppose that you have a twin brother or sister, born a few mintues before or after you. And you both live your life happly. Now imagne that on your twentyth birthsday, your twin want to go off into distant galaxies and explore; he or she leaves on the day of your twentyth birthday. After twenty years on earth, on your fourtyth birthday, he came back, landing in your back yard. The door of the space ship opens, and out comes your twin, Only a few years older than when he or she left. We can all see here that she or he, in some sense, has time traveled into your future. This has been proven by NASA, but with subatomic particles, and the time difference is only a few microseconds rather than years.

If we take the example at face value, then we see that the principple of fate is how nature works. If time is indeed a vector, then we can go forward and backword in time, and therefore fate is a posibility.
