More detail on the non-causality poll...

I'd expect adherents to quantum mechanics to choose "sometimes".

Since QM appears to introduce uncertainty (probabilistic) in place of causality (deterministic) (i.e., it moves from certainty toward randomness), I don't see why a deeper dive couldn't move entirely to randomness (non-causality).

Non-causality appears to be a generalization of nonlocality (or perhaps complimentary to it).

Because of the results of the Bell test experiments, there appears to be renewed interest in explicit theories of nonlocality (e.g., extentions of de Broglie–Bohm theory) to make QM more palatable.

I think the development of a construct for a non-causal extent with causality emergent at macroscopic levels (or emergent at the quantum/macro interface) could serve the same purpose, but I haven't been able to find anything on that.

*** Does anybody know of anyone who is working on that? ***

Here are some more hashtags to cast the net a bit wider. (feel free to comment even after the poll is complete):

Is causality an emergent phenomenon?

The sign above the gates to the fediverse read "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate"

@freemo

I sometimes use the dash. And occasionally use space (next to space, before time), but that's at times when I'm spaced.

@mathlover Can't imagine why facebook would rob people of the joy of seeing this meme :)

@realcaseyrollins Americans just cant have an honest discussion on anything politicial, in either side. You talk about these subjects and all you'll get is a complete fiction from both sides.

The left will have you convinced it was like the purge out there, every man for themselves as every conservative tries to murder congress.

The right will make it sound like a BBQ with some old ladies where a few of the kids got a little out of hand.

Meanwhile everyone else is just like "Eh more riots like the left did for 4 years straight, FML"

@realcaseyrollins Thats because the chinese were protestors and the people at the capitol were insurgents... Arent you getting your memos?

Facebook flagged my post inappropriate. My first thought was "I need to share this meme with my people over int he fediverse!".
