Re: Sidelined
So, what I'm saying is that causality still should hold true.
Should it?
Correct me if I'm wrong but in quantum mechanics particles appear and disappear in space all the time without a cause. There isn't some set exact time for individual atoms to decay, or a cause that sets it off. So perhaps the absence of causality really isn't "unnatural". Mabye it only seems that way due to our perspective of a life full of causes and effects.
Does anyone have further info on this?

Re: Quantum Mechanics
So, you can't really say yet with assurance that there is no cause for it.
Can you ever really find out "with assurance" though? If something truly has no cause then you'll never find a cause, but always wonder if there is a cause.
Kinda sucks, eh?
So far no one has even come close.
Here is a very interesting interview between talk radio host "Infidel Guy" and the astrophysicist Dr. Michio Kaku. In it he talks about QM, M-theory/string theory and some other stuff. Really is fun to listen to.
