Is it possible for effect to precede cause

Now, this is a practice in quantum theory. Theoretically, cause always precedes effect - You start it off, by doing Cause A. Naturally, Cause A would provide for Outcome A. My question is, can the outcome come before the cause itself.. Could Outcome A come about before Cause A.

Natural causality loop - Is it possible? Discuss. =3

As time is not invariant ( relativity theory) it is possible for effect to APPEAR before cause if the position of the viewer is moving.
However if the position isn't altering then the relative times for the observer are the same as the relative times of the situation so this doesn't apply.

So now it becomes philosophical.
An event occurs, before the cause. Subsequently you decide not to apply the cause.
Did the event happen or not?

An event could only happen prior to cause if there was absolutely no way that the cause could subsequently be modified.

I.e. The cause depends upon the event.
However if the cause depends on the event does this not mean that the cause is caused by the event? The event having happened forces the cause to occur?

So if an event happening dictates that the cause must follow then the event is the cause and the cause is the event.

Philosophical rather than physics of course.

I disagree we cannot determine Effect without Observation in QM. Thus, the Observation is the Cause

no it aint
