What exactly constitutes something as a logical possibility

Reference no: EM13525765

What exactly constitutes something as a logical possibility? I could very easily imagine any situation to have something completely radical happen which does not necessarily act in accordance with any laws that I know of. So how am I to understand if something is logically possible if I can always imagine that there is a case that reason has no bearing on what happens, yet it is still imaginable?
