Why don't you start a new thread: "Let's BS about Physics and Liberalism: NO FACTS ALLOWED!"

Actually, dear boy, because of quantum physics, the whole concept of cause and effect is up for grabs. It really do look like at a fundamental level, it doesn't hold.

What's the distinction between Newton's Third Law, and the concept of cause and effect?
You plant a seed in the spring, water it, get a plant that flowers and produces more seeds. There's cause and effect in here. Where's Newton's Third?
Remember, Newton's 3rd is basically an expression of conservation of momentum. Do you know what that is?
