Look, son, I'm not going to waste time teaching you basic physics. For someone like you it will take far too long.

Here's a suggestion:
Learn arthmetic
Learn algebra
Learn plane geometry
Learn some solid geometry
Learn trigonometry
Learn analytic geometry
Now at this point you should be in fair enough shape that you could take and comprehend a high school physics course where they'll tell what the 3rd Law actually says. And let me tell you, if you still think it has to do with the civil rights movements and anti-war protests, you screwed up.

Or go gaze into a pyramid-shaped crystal.

"what's the distinction between Newton's Third Law, and the concept of cause and effect"

A pretty big one. There is no evidence that effects cause causes. If and when we find that they do, we will be able to travel back in time. It may be that you are already privy to that, and I congratulate you for your achievement, and also for being a sport...
