Does Quantum Mechanics Rule Out Free Will?

Whether or not this universe is a simulation, if time & space (Spacetime) is part of a quantum memory of data, then there might be something like a cosmic database.

https://www.wired.com/story/living-in-a-simulation

The curiosity or perception of synchronicity can reveal astounding implications about the nature of reality. (TNOR)

If spacetime is part of an interactive projection & recording of data & information, then there might be something like a quantum cosmic library. Or is it a perpetual state of now?

What if the Curvature_of_time and Time_dilation are part of the shape of space?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime#Is_spacetime_really_curved?

Whatever the shape of the cosmos is, if spacetime information is stored, then its all like being part of a vast recording. Then what if a person can travel to various points in this cosmic recording or database? Not just in physical distance but through time. Of course that would be time travel. https://www.space.com/21675-time-travel.html

Source Code Movie Ending Explained

"The Source Code technology in the film is inspired by real-life quantum mechanics theories, which posit the existence of multiple parallel universes and alternate timelines." https://repeatreplay.com/source-code-movie-ending-explained 

This is such a fantastic movie. Source Code isn't so much about time-travel (TT), as its more about linking one's consciousness to a parallel world. Thus, at the end of the movie it is revealed that the protagonist is in another person's body, which is fully intact on an alternate world.

"Stevens presses him for answers, he's told that Source Code isn't a simulation, as he suspected, but an extremely limited type of time travel. Rutledge clarifies that it's more like time re-assignment, and it works via quantum mechanics and parabolic calculus."  https://www.looper.com/1284014/source-code-ending-explained

Of course over the decades, several Time+Travel+movies and TV productions have been released.

Donnie+Darko is either another interesting time-travel and portal story, or it's about the protagonist going into another timeline to meet his ending. While several people remember him, others don't know much, or anything about him, by the end of the movie.

His consciousness is eventually fully shifted over into an alternate world (in the local and cosmic simulation) where he survives, fully intact. The portal link into a parallel or alternate world is through a supercomputer, or a quantum computer.
