All things have a cause. Nothing happens without one. Anybody disagree?

The Casimir effect is due to quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. These Vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field are caused by oscilliting strings on a plank sized scale.

by my post my intention was to argue whether there was a such thing as the The Law of Causality. which is just the principle of cause and effect ie the principle that everything that happens must have a cause
as to your comment about Christians Jews ect. i really didn't want to get into a religious debate just sort of a scientific debate. And anyways the are allowed to bypass this law because God or gods are not of this universe and are therefore not subject to the laws which govern this universe. Should have made a better first post sorry.

first off crashfrog there are many different types of Atomic decay and the weak force is responsible for beta decay as for the rest read this site http://library.thinkquest.org/3471/radiation_types_body.html

that randomness has a cause though. my point is that every event has a cause. An beta decay is an event, the cause is the weak force. the specific atom doesn't matter, just that the event was caused. get what I'm saying?

it is a caused event and a random event. We know why it is happening but not where it will happen. Causality deals with the why

I'm sure there is a reason but, as science is a work in progress, and i do not know all of it i cannot say. however why would you want to live in a universe that there is no Causality.

still i think which atom is affected is irrelevent as long as the action has a cause
