Well, Michael, causality is more or less a consideration of 'why?', rather than how.
Not so sure of the why...
The 'how', is, there's no contradiction of the law of conservation of mass-energy, because it's the same amount of energy, constantly and uniformly distributing itself over ever increasing amounts of (what thereby becomes 'functional' - occupied) space.
As for why, it seems that matter is found doing this, so far, without any explanation of 'why'. Maybe we could say that the vacuum of space draws matter ever omnidirectionally further out. Maybe it's a 'Why does the chicken cross the road' kind of a question...
Incidentally, in 1970, my published and internationally distributed work,
predicted the
*acceleration of the *1996 observed expanding universe. The stack of reports of the acceleration of the expanding universe continues - ever since - to grow higher. I based my prediction on Einstein's (abandoned) cosmological constant (increases with distance), which has since been unabashedly recovered and purloined by the otherwise bankrupt Big Bang Gang...
Always good to hear from you, Michael.
Kewl Kewcumbers to and from Greg also.
