How long, you suppose, does it take for a photon to interact with an electron?

So, you do not consider that there are interactions between photons and electrons?
As I said a photon is a packet. The process of interaction takes time and it is continuous.

Assuming that a photon takes time to create does not clarify why you consider that cause and effect have a temporal order where one precedes the other.

There must be a time when both electrons did not react to the presence of the other and at a given moment, both electrons affect each other. Why do you consider one of them to be first cause?
I said vise versa. One electron affects an electron. Another one does the same. In opposite direction.

And how do you conclude from that that the cause precedes the effect?

Because each electron causes/repels another electron to move away, effect. It however takes time for each cause, emission of a photon, and effect, absorption of a photon.

Is the emission of a photon cause or effect?

The emission is the cause. The effect is absorption.

Pero que causó la emisión?

Hahaha!!! Sorry!!!

But what caused the emission?

The electron has a property so-called charge. Any particle that has a charge emits/causes/creates photon.

That doesn't answer my question.

The eLectron has the ability to emit.

In the interaction between two electrons, is the emission of a photon, the cause of the interaction or is it its effect?

Photon is an entity that is created/caused by one electron. Two electrons interact with each other by exchanging photons. No photon, no interaction.

You say that when there is an interaction between two electrons, one of them whimsically decides to emit a photon?

It does emit photon constantly. That is why there is an electromagnetic field around the electron.

You seem indecisive. In the case of the interaction between two electrons, what is cause and what effect? Which is prior and which is later. If the interaction is between photon and electron, which is cause and which effect and which is prior and which is subsequent?
