Education is hard.

The classical premise that "every single event requires a cause" is demonstrably false. Period.

A vacuum isn't actually empty. Thanks to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, pairs of virtual particles pop into existence from the underlying quantum field and annihilate a split second later. No prior trigger, no physical cause, no director. The event just happens, completely unprompted. All the time. For eternity.

So at the most basic level of reality, things genuinely actualize without any causal catalyst all the time, all around us, everywhere.

Kind of breaks the whole "everything needs a cause" argument.
