18398 | Space, time, and some other basics, are not causal powers [Ellis] |
Full Idea: Spatial, temporal, and other primary properties and relationships are not causal powers. | |
From: Brian Ellis (Response to David Armstrong [1999], p.42), quoted by David M. Armstrong - Truth and Truthmakers 10.4 | |
A reaction: It is hard to see how time and space could actually be powers, but future results in physics (or even current results about 'fields') might change that. |
