Empirical science is founded in physical causality

Submitted by Christopher Joh... on Sun, 2008-05-18 07:12.

Physical causality is the very basis and foundation of empirical science, of the experimental method. An overthrow of causality would be an overthrow of empirical science.

If the orthodoxy of the “general theory of relativity” were to establish its overthrow of causality, it would thereby invalidate its own status as an empirical science. “No reasonable definition of reality could be expected to permit this.” (Phys. Rev. 47:777-780, 1935.)

(Newton’s mechanics was deterministic but did not respect causality, and this rightly worried Newton. Determinism is a different animal from causality, though some muddled mentalities confuse the two.)
