Philosophical analyses of causation take many forms but one major difficulty they all aim to address is that of the spatio‐temporal continuity between causes and their effects. Bertrand Russell in 1913 brought the problem to its most transparent form and made it a case against the notion of causation in physics. In this essay, I focus on this subject of causal continuity and its related issues in classical and quantum physics.
