Welcome to our thought-provoking video on the nature of physical reality! In this enlightening discussion, we delve deep into the question: Is Physical Reality Contingent? Join us as we explore the philosophical concepts behind the contingency of the physical world.



Physical Reality encompasses everything composed of matter, energy, space, and time. But what if we told you that everything you see and experience in the physical world is contingent? Contingency means that the existence of an object or event depends on something external to itself. Only an Ontologically Self-Sufficient entity escapes this contingency, and we'll explain why.


In the first part of the video, we establish the characteristics of an Ontologically Self-Sufficient Entity, including its optional (not necessary) dynamism, ability to exist beyond time, and the capacity to switch between timeless and timed states. It must also be capable of internally initiated actions and volitional causation.


The intriguing part comes next, as we apply these criteria to matter, energy, space, and time – the building blocks of Physical Reality. We explore how Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the behavior of particles, and even space itself, all violate one or more of these requirements, rendering them contingent.


As we progress, we show how matter, energy, space, and time are inherently dynamic, tied to the confines of time, and lacking the autonomy required for self-sufficiency. This leads us to the inevitable conclusion that Matter-Energy-Space-Time, and consequently, Physical Reality itself, cannot be ontologically self-sufficient.


In conclusion, we unveil the profound truth that Physical Reality is indeed contingent. We hope this video has challenged your perspective on the world around you.
