    Steve and all rebels without acausal:

    Steve:
    This is not support for acausality. Science can never do that. Once a
    scientist stops talking in terms of cause and effect, for better or
    worse,he's not talking science anymore. This quote has to do with non-local
    causation but still causation.

    DMB:
    OK. But the interesting thing is the statement "everything participates in a
    sensitive, flowing web of information". This is a remarkably different kind
    of interaction than is ususally concieved when we say "causation", non-local
    or otherwise. And my point is the synchronous event demonstrates the
    existence of this "sensitive web of information".
