BHA: RE: Causal powers of absence - are they real?

[Hans Ehrbar <ehrbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tend to agree with Marsh, absence is not the same thing
as change.  It is therefore not a tautology to say that
absence is necessary for change.  The world must have
pores of void, it must be shot through with
absences, otherwise nothing new could occur.

I often think that this has to do with the expansion of the
universe.  New space is created continuously everywhere like
pores opening up.  I like to speculate that what happens in
this newborn space is not determined by the status of the
already existing world but this newly created space is the
void which allows new things to happen in the world.
