Re: CAUSATION IN PHYSICS



At 02:44 PM 10/15/00 -0400, Robert Carlson teased:
Now I'm wondering if bullets can cause bullet holes and what implications
this may have on our legal system.

In case there is anyone who can't tell the difference between teasing and
physics:
-- bullet-hole production is highly entropic, and permits clear
statements about causation;
-- this is in marked contrast to F=ma.
