Answer by alanf for Causation in physics equation
Granted that physicists have always been concerned about causation, the laws of physics stated in terms of equations have nothing to say about causation. Are they correlational laws?The laws of physics...

In classical physics every state evolved from the previous state. This is called determinism and it means that every state was caused by a sequence of previous states. By this principle you should be...

Equations by definition simply equate, so if you state the laws of physics as equations, without any of the associated narrative, then you are not stating the laws of physics!Some equations express...

Causation is a phenomenon of (general) relativity, giving a natural partial order to events. The equations of physics constrain what phenomena they can explain in an acausal fashion: neither do...
