Einstein answered one of the questions about cause and effect years ago with his theories of gravity. Newton had previously thought that if the Sun suddenly vanished, we would feel the effect (i.e. the loss of orbit) immediately even though we wouldn't see the Sun disappear for another 8 minutes (due to the time it takes light to travel from the Sun to the Earth).
Einstein's theory of gravity rejected this idea, and it is now well established that the force of gravity travels at the speed of light too. If the sun suddenly vanished, we would still feel the effects of orbit (and the Earth would remain in an "orbit") for 8 minutes.
