First Argument against Material Monism

Major Premise

If the material world were eternal, then it would be self-maintaining

Minor Premise

The material world is not self-maintaining

Conclusion

Therefore, the material world is not eternal

Reason for minor premise (in general) part #1

The physical universe is highly differentiated in terms of hot and cold, and these differences interact

Reason for minor premise (in general) part #2

These interactions continue until a sameness/equilibrium is reached

Reason for minor premise (in general) part #3

Sameness/equilibrium remaines sameness left to itself = not self maintaining

Reasons for minor premise (in parts) part #1

The sun is limited in size

Reasons for minor premise (in parts) part #2

The sun gives off heat

Reasons for minor premise (in parts) part #3

Therefore, the sun (and all stars) will burn out

Reasons for minor premise (as a whole) part #1

There is not enough mass in the physical universe for gravity to pull everything back together (10k more needed)

Reasons for minor premise (as a whole) part #2

Even if there were enough mass, the force would equal out/equilibrium

Reasons for minor premise (as a whole) part #3

True vacuum (no existence, no matter, no energy) to false vacuum (existence, matter, energy) is an appeal from being from non being
