Our duecer just said it all: the function of cause and effect would be non-existent without emptiness because the essence of cause and effect is the emptiness. Indeed, since the essense of our everyday reality is nothing but a zoomed-out existential freezeframe out of the realm of the Quantum world and thus an enlarged effect of the stability of the molecules (this stability alone is the sole agent that prevents the universe from disintegration), the phenomenon of the delocality (as you know, in full conrast to our everyday empiricism, the electron can be in two places at the same time thanks to its wave-like nature) is one of the best contemporary illustrations of the emptiness at our disposal. This is the reason why Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle regarding the location of the electron forces us to admit that its position at a given time is neither the same, nor different, nor both, nor neither (because the given electron amongst else is neither at rest, nor in motion, nor both nor neither). Oh well;
Methinks integrity, justice, immutability, veracity, virtue and all the other inventions of the human mind are both empty and real, my friend;
