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.
