There is finally the claim that the universe is a closed causal - TopicsExpress



          

There is finally the claim that the universe is a closed causal system, the triplet of its three vaguely technical terms suggesting something more substantial by way of a definition. But to say that the universe is a causal system is hardly an improvement on the thesis that effects have causes, and if the universe is everything that there *is*, then to say that it is closed is only to observe that there is nothing beyond everything. This is not a thesis calculated to set the blood racing. - David Berlinski from The Devils Delusion
