Theories of physics are constructed by using human invented mathematical logics while enforcing quantitative equality between the cause and the effect, mediated by some real physical processes; which are our interpretations. These interpretations are not 100% congruent with the ontological cosmic logics. So we must keep on improving theories by iterating. The cause is defined by our hypothesis logics; the effect is defined through reproducible measurements and the physical processes are constructed by our imaginations, since the micro universe is still invisible to our technologies. How are these connected to chemistry, biology and evolution? Sustained evolution relies upon invention of tools and technologies, needed for gathering food and other comforts. Technology inventions are nothing but emulation of nature allowed physical processes in novel ways, or in novel combinations. Unfortunately, modern physics teaches us to stop enquiring, �Do electrons really follow orbits, or such processes?� This paper attempts to bring back causality in physics, by developing a causal theory of spectrometry to obtain super resolution, orders of magnitude better than d?/dt=1. We follow the propagation process of the carrier frequency contained in a time-finite pulse through a spectrometer, instead of the non-causal Fourier monochromatic modes that exists for all time, requiring infinite amount of energy. Then we follow the physical processes behind the emergence of superposition effect registered as some physical transformation in a detector due to simultaneous stimulations induced on it by multiple EM waves generated by the interferometer (or the spectrometer). One then discovers, subtly hidden in Maxwell's wave equation, the NIW-property (Non-Interaction of Waves). Like Occam's razor, the NIW-property eliminates a number of unnecessary non-causal hypotheses of Quantum Mechanics, while explicitly recognizes the detector's intrinsic time-averaging and detection circuit's time-integration properties. These are essential for proper interpretation of spectral data in all spectrometry, including the field of Terahertz.
