So, I'm not much of a sciencefag, but humor me.

>To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

This means that everything in the universe that has ever happened or ever will happen is all directly caused by the first moment in time. Everything. Me typing this, you reading it. An action caused by an action before it caused by an action before it, repeat to the beginning of time.

As you are a burgeoning sciencefag, allow me to let you in on a little secret.

Almost everything you think of that is a new, groundbreaking idea, has already been thought of. If you've never heard of it, then it means the idea was dismissed for some reason.

yep. and we don't know how many universes were before ours that simply fizzled out because the circumstances weren't stable enough.

Maybe, but then again, quantum physics.

>> No.2686264

you can't apply newtonian physics on cosmology.

quantum fluctuations are actions without a cause.

that we know of.

1 action does not equal an entire other. it divides. eventually all reactions will be particles hitting eachother.

Yes, though causality might not be as linear as you think.
