In statistics, Lord's paradox raises the issue of when it is appropriate to control for baseline status. In three papers, Frederic M. Lord gave examples when statisticians could reach different conclusions depending on whether they adjust for pre-existing differences.

The concept of a space-time seems to suggest both the past and the future already exist and that the freedom of choice is an illusion. However, a deeper look into cause and effect, locality, light cones, and infinitesimals still leaves an opening for freewill. _____________________________
