WHAT DOES LOGICALLY POSSIBLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Logical possibility

A logically possible proposition is one that can be asserted without implying a logical contradiction. This is to say that a proposition is logically possible if there is some coherent way for the world to be, under which the proposition would be true. Thus, "the sky is blue" is logically possible: there exists some logically coherent way for the world to be such that it is true, viz., the way that the world actually is. But this "way for the world to be" need not be the way the world actually is; it need only be logically coherent. So, for example, the false proposition, "the sky is red" is also logically possible, so long as we are able to conceive of some logically coherent world in which the sky is red. Philosophers generally consider logical possibility to be the broadest sort of subjunctive possibility in modal logic. Logical possibility should be distinguished from other sorts of subjunctive possibilities. For example, it may be logically possible for the universe's physical laws to be different from what they actually are.
