What is causality?

Causality is about how one thing makes another thing happen, like when you push a toy car and it starts rolling.

Imagine you have two blocks on a table: one red block and one blue block. If you knock the red block, and the blue block moves, that means the red block caused the blue block to move. But if you knock both at the same time, it’s harder to tell which one caused what.

Causality is like a domino effect: when you push the first domino, it falls and knocks over the next one, and so on, each domino causing the next one to fall.

You can think of causality as a “push” or “pull” between things. When you open a door, you’re using your hand to cause the door to move. The door doesn’t just decide to swing by itself, something has to make it move.

Causality helps us understand why things happen around us. If we know what causes something, we can predict or even stop it from happening again. Like if you spill your juice because you knocked the cup over, next time, you might be more careful!
