Causality is discrete in its nature
Causality is discrete in its nature
There are cause and effect. Cause and effect cannot lay at the same point since there was no need for cause if the effect was in place. So the effect comes after the cause, otherwise is absurd. The question is how long does it take to reach from cause to effect.

Cause and effect are relative to our perception and predictive needs. Actuality is 100% causality in all directions, at all scales, at all times; one big, constant happening.

Re: Causality is discrete in its nature
It depends on what you are describing. The amount of time it take to change a state will depend if the thing in question is complex or simple, if it’s comprised of more basic parts which also have to causally interact to produce the change. Ultimately, the most basic change (which I am aware of) is the decaying of particles, which AFAIK, decay instantly.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:04 am There are cause and effect.

Instant, just like infinite, means "beyond our ability to measure".
