How flexible is the principle of causality?

If you have two point masses approach each other, they repulse and fly on their way, what is then supposed to have caused what?

I apologize if I sound naive (because I am), but wouldn't it have something to do with their gravitational pull which in some instances is known to have the opposite effect (anti-gravity)? Okay so what are the implications you're trying to get me to see? Smile

Yeah.
