Russell noted that in science, asymmetric causal relations don’t appear at all. Rather, physics is full of equations such as E = mc2 and F = Gm1m2/d2. And an equation can be read left to right or right to left. In other words, the directionality of causation is not really a feature of the world because in its scientific formulation it can just as easily run in the opposite direction.
