Causality is observed through science but will ultimately fall back on to inductive assumption of cause (committing a deductive fallacy) - This was the aim of my hypothesis. The most prominent image of this occurring is 'cogito ergo sum' - essentially 'this is true, therefore this is the cause'. This simply does not work if one is trying to deductively prove a cause. One cannot observe a conclusion and induce a cause and say it is proof of the cause. As any mathematician would tell you, it only takes one counter example to negate a proof, so while science may think it knows the cause, it may change at any time as knowledge grows. For examples of this occurring refer to any of the scientific revolutions of the past - the Copernican/Galilean revolution, the Newtonian (classical) revolution, the non-Euclidean and non-Aristotelian revolutions, the ongoing Gödelian revolution, the Relativity revolution, the Quantum revolution.
I think you need to go and have a wank or something.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
