Default Invariance of causality (cause-and-effect relationship)


So the fact it has never been falsified makes it baseless? You have a
strange notion of baseless.


I call it baseless because it hasn't been falsified *yet*. The
occurence of future falsification is uncertain. Therefore, laws cannot
be stamped down as "true forever". So, the assumptions that laws are
true is ultimately baseless...though it can be said to be practical.
It is just like saying that the keyboard you're typing with will work
forever just because it's been working till now...since its creation.
Such an assumption, in my view, is baseless.
