Has physics abolished causality?
peace.
According to physics, can we say that the elevator is going down, or can we say that the building is going up. It all depends on the point of reference?
Can we say that the moving car is approaching the car parked in the parking lot with the handbrake on? And can we say that the car with the handbrake is driving towards the shaking car with smoke coming out of its exhaust?
It seems crooked and mind-boggling to me. Is this really what physics says or is it just a trick for easier calculation and problem solving? And how does the driver in car A move the parked car if he presses his gas pedal? How do I move the wall when I “walk” towards it? And why doesn’t this invalidate the principle of causality??
Relative motion is a matter of definition. In physics, motion is defined according to a reference frame. In everyday life, motion is defined differently (because a certain reference frame is assumed).
There is no revocation of the principle of causality because the world will not move backward compared to my car by pressing the gas pedal.
