Then it grew, and started to be smaller again. here, there is no difference because of the theory (inflatioanry) used. Well, in this case, the actual definitions of cause effect would be the same as know. The difference isn't the meaning of the word, but the actual cases of it. It would still be cause-effect because B (cause) would interact with A (effect). But sene in the other arrow, A (cause) would interact with A (effect). |
I believe the nature of these objects (A and B) would be the determining factor. It's possible that an object exists that is not affected no matter how time flows. Its nature is simply to affect. The same can be said of an object whose nature is simply to be affected but never affect regardless of time flow. An important distiction is that it isn't neccesary for both conditions to be true in order for something to exist. It may happen that they are both true but both aren't required.

I didn't notice that. It's a good thing to do so I'll keep doing it. Thanks for pointing it out.
