Reply to comment by supercalifragilism in Scientists simulate ‘baby’ wormhole without rupturing space and time by Crazy-Sundae-5141

The specifics of causality were invented by humans. For example, we don't like the grandfather paradox, but a multiverse just ignores that problem.

Personally, I think that we assign too much value to our own human experience. In our own experience it is possible to exactly know the velocity and position of an object. In our own experience things are solid, not wavelike. In our own experience it is impossible for time to warp based on speed. And in our own experience it is impossible for cause not to follow effect.

I'm sympathetic to this interpretation, and I agree that human experience is centered too often when dealing with these kinds of notions. The trouble is that causality is necessary for any and all science, including the science that's leading you to doubt causality. The nice thing about experiment is that it can allow you to get out of the human experience.
