It can be used, for example, as an argument against nomological necessitarianism, the view that the laws of nature are necessary, i.e. are the same in all possible worlds.[7][8] To see how this might work, consider the case of salt being thrown into a cup of water and subsequently dissolving.[9] This can be described as a series of two events, a throwing-event and a dissolving-event.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6945.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6945.txt
