Anyone Use Standing Desks?

Try finding an example of how something proves something (not in mathematics).
Also, from a deterministic perspective, the word "cause" has no meaning.

I thought I posted something, but the Internet must have decided it wasn't a very good post. I haven't got the patience to type it out again, other than that I don't really believe in determinism, since we can (sort of) change the past by changing the future^[1], which doesn't really fit into a picture of time as a deterministic sequence of events.

I see the whole wave/particle thing as an analogy (approximation) for light that doesn't fit very well

if you watch Feynman's lectures, he doesn't even want to talk about what happens "in between" because we don't really know what happens in the middle...

edit: wiki actually has a decent page on causality from macro down to QM
