So! I think its about time causality got violated. If Einstein did not violate the notion that the rate of time is fixed he would never have solved his problem in the electrodynamics of moving bodies. Don’t you see. Causality has already been violated because there are things that just cant be explained in traditional “causal” terms. That’s exactly what happened to Einstein. He was never going to solve his problem until he put under the microscope one of humanities most basic assumptions up to that time. So lets shake off our shackles and never ask the question ever again “What came first, the chicken or the egg?”. What caused the universe, what caused God. Maybe there just isn’t always a cause or maybe something may be caused by something that comes later. Its all up for grabs now as far as I can tell.
