Causality - the concept of cause and effect - has long been viewed
by philosophers, from Aristotle to Kant, as fundamental to our
understanding of the universe. In this book we construct a theory
of physics based on causality. We discover that the simplest causal
network, based on Reichenbach's principle of common cause, exactly
describes the Dirac equation and is consistent with both special
relativity and quantum mechanical statistics. Are the "elementary"
particles and "fundamental" laws of physics emergent from
causality? Many historical philosophers would have perhaps taken
this for granted and in this book we explore these ideas. Dr.
Richard Bateson is a physicist based at the London Centre for
Nanotechnology (LCN), University College London (UCL). He
previously worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
(ESRF), Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and CERN. He has a doctorate
in physics from Cambridge University.
