The oldest promise of physics was that every event has a place, a time, and a cause. In The Collapse of Causality, that promise begins to give way. Set in the years 2010–2025, this volume follows the thinkers who asked whether spacetime is built from entanglement, whether gravity is emergent, and whether the order of events itself can become indefinite. From Erik Verlinde’s challenge to gravity as a fundamental force to Mark Van Raamsdonk’s entanglement-built geometry, the quantum switch, quantum clocks, and new theories of relational time, the book tracks a field in the act of rewriting its deepest assumptions.As the final turn in this 14-book series, it carries the story from quantum information to the nature of reality itself. Roger Penrose, Sean Carroll, Brian Swingle, Andrew Strominger, and others enter a narrative where cosmology, laboratory tests, and philosophical argument all press on the same question: is causality a bedrock principle, or a late, fragile approximation? Historically grounded and written for general readers, this volume shows how modern physics moved from describing reality to asking whether reality may be woven from relations, information, and perspective.
