How flexible is the principle of causality?
#1
How flexible is the principle of causality?
Question: If a specific effect is the consequence of a specific cause, will that same cause or causes always produce the same effect(s)? It seems like the presumption that science is largely conducted on. But if A causes B, can it also cause C or D or E? Or if AB = CD, is it due to necessity? Or can AB also = EF or GH? What degree of flexibility lies in the apparent regularities of causes and effects?
