"Quantum theory is a probabilistic theory with fixed causal structure. General relativity is a deterministic theory but where the causal structure is dynamic."

"The idea that events obey a definite causal order is deeply rooted in our understanding of the world and at the basis of the very notion of time. But where does causal order come from, and is it a necessary property of nature?"

"Each of the individual sciences seeks to comprehend the processes of the natural world in some narrow domain—chemistry, the chemical processes, biology; living processes, and so on. It is widely held, however, that all the sciences are unified at a deeper level in that natural processes are governed, at least in significant measure, by cause and effect. Their presence is routinely asserted in a law of causation or principle of causality—roughly that every effect is produced through lawful necessity by a cause—and our accounts of the natural world are expected to conform to it,"
"I urge that the concepts of cause and effect are not the fundamental concepts of our science and that science is not governed by a law or principle of causality."mmmm ...

RUTA said:so let me say briefly that we are underwriting quantum physics, not replacing it. Quantum physics is correct as a "higher-level" theory in our view. For example, all the work done on the Standard Model was essential and important, just not fundamental.
