ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Metaphysical necessity

Metaphysical necessity means that something is true no matter what. For example, it is a metaphysical necessity that 1 + 1 = 2. This will always be true, regardless of what happens in the world. It doesn't change and can't be different, even if something else happened in the world that made us think it might be different. It's like a rule that never changes and is true no matter what.
