Nah, not classical causality. The cause is always before the effect,
right? Well, suppose you push against a wall. The wall pushes back
(Newton 2nd law), which is why nothing moves. Did your force cause
the reaction force? Seems intuitively clear that it did. But it can't
possibly precede it, unless the wall moved and then moved back. (02)
BTW, I didn't know you were reading this stuff, Jerry. Id better be
more careful what I say :-) (03)
