Part 6/8:
As we delve into modern physics, we encounter even more perplexing interpretations of causation, especially within the realms of quantum physics. Concepts like quantum entanglement and backward causation challenge our classical understanding and introduce a level of ambiguity that defies common sense.
The Challenge of Nonlocality and Time
While common experiences anchor our understanding of causation, the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics suggests that later events may influence earlier ones, a notion that unsettles many. Such representations of causation seem unfamiliar and fundamentally at odds with how we ordinarily perceive the world.
