Another note.
As any mathematician knows, Logic is formal.
What does it means? That can be used as well for existing, not existing, fictional entities or just empty symbols (p,q…).
In a more general way, Logic have not "ontological commitment".
As the Universe is not an abstraction…
As reified qualities Plato-like entities ("Redness, "Life") where never detected nor meassured…
Thus…
"Logical Necessity" (and "Logical Imposibility") are NOT scientific scientific criteria and neither can be causes.

@CharlieZ it feels like my head is full of old used teabags today, I don't think I could explain anything more complicated than changing a light bulb at the moment.

@SW-User If you are in need to change a bulb, do not ask for it to hippy.
It will take 1000 people.
One to handle a steaddy bulb.
999 to lift the house and make it rotate.
