She Ji: The Journal of Design, Economics and Innovation, 2023 This short paper compiles the main concepts behind some philosophical views, definitions, and examples of causality. This collection spans the realms of the four commonly adopted approaches to causality: Hume’s regularity, counterfactual, manipulation ...

Is Causality a Necessary Tool for Understanding Our Universe, or Is It a Part of the Problem?
Entropy, 2021 In this paper, the concept of causality in physics is discussed. Causality is a necessary tool for the understanding of almost all physical phenomena.

Positivity-causality competition: a road to ultimate EFT consistency constraints [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Effective field theories (EFT) are strongly constrained by fundamental principles such as unitarity, locality, causality, and Lorentz invariance. In this paper, we consider the EFT of photons (or other U(1) gauge field) and compare different approaches ...

Twenty Years after Folk Physics for Apes: Researchers' Understanding of How Nonhumans Understand the World [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 Povinelli (2000) published a series of careful studies probing chimpanzees’ understanding of physical causality in the book, “Folk Physics for Apes: The Chimpanzee’s theory of how the world works.” The studies and Povinelli’s conclusions regarding ...

Causality constraints on corrections to Einstein gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study constraints from causality and unitarity on 2 → 2 graviton scattering in four-dimensional weakly-coupled effective field theories. Together, causality and unitarity imply dispersion relations that connect low-energy observables to high-energy ...

Information causality as a physical principle [PDF]
Nature, 2009 Quantum physics exhibits remarkable distinguishing characteristics. For example, it gives only probabilistic predictions (non-determinism) and does not allow copying of unknown state (no-cloning). Quantum correlations may be stronger than any classical ones, nevertheless information cannot be transmitted faster than light (no-signaling).

Entropy Derived from Causality
Entropy, 2020 The second law of thermodynamics, with its positive change of entropy for a system not in equilibrium, defines an arrow of time. Interestingly, also, causality, which is the connection between a cause and an effect, requests a direction of time by ...

Schopenhauer on space, time, causality and matter: a physical reexamination
Voluntas, 2019 According to Schopenhauer, Kant’s arguments about the transcendental ideality of space and time have implications for matter through the concept of causality and the principle of sufficient reason.

Causality re-established [PDF]
, 2018 Causality never gained the status of a "law" or "principle" in physics. Some recent literature even popularized the false idea that causality is a notion that should be banned from theory.
