Disagree with Sean Carroll. The property that Judea Pearl defines in "Causality" is a central part of the character of physical law.
And even if what Sean Carroll said was true, there'd still be a big important problem to be resolved somehow.
It's okay to have big outstanding problems. You don't have to say "God" and you don't have to sweep them under the rug either.
I'd have to strongly disagree with that. It's certainly why we're interested in physical law, and how we test our understanding of physical law. But the central character of physical law admits no interventions when describing things at the lowest level.
