NOTE

Tradition Shrouds the Pursuit of Causality

The pursuit of causality in scientific inquiry has historically been sidelined, with early scientists, like Newton, acknowledging an inability to pinpoint the cause of gravity, a trend that has persisted. This notion has been internalized within the scientific tradition, leading most to mistakenly believe that the search for causes ceased because it was deemed unnecessary rather than eventually planned for future exploration. The entrenched perception of facts as causes creates resistance among physicists when confronted with this historical context, often resulting in denial regarding the complexity of causality beyond Newtonian mechanics. This reflects a broader issue where the understanding of causation is not only neglected but is also seen as a contradiction to established natural laws.
