Everything would be simultaneous if cause and effect coincide. The reality is however temporal, therefore effect occurs after cause.

Effect occurs after cause, without actual separation. But so what?

Of course, there is an actual separation otherwise they coincide.

IF there is an ACTUAL SEPARATION, then what EXACTLY IS that ACTUAL SEPARATION?

But I NEVER asked ANY thing about what is 'during the interval', nor 'during' separation.
I asked, what EXACTLY IS the ACTUAL separation? In other words, what is 'IT' that IS the ACTUAL separation?

Imagining simultaneous cause and effect tells us that the concepts of cause and effect aren't understood.

Don't worry about it.There is no such thing as cause and effect. Its the simpleminded fiction invention of Hume and the way "cause," is understood by school children.
