  • universe is apparently contingent/chaotic, meaning that all laws are constantly susceptible to change
  • but if that were the case, then there's no guarantee that any "arche-fossil" couldn't have come into existence yesterday
  • but he tries to save this by claiming that the possible laws of nature are "transfinite", resulting in odds of nature's laws changing being 0
  • but if the odds were 0, then the universe would actually be completely stable, which contradicts his claim of chaos/contingency

Cage
