Hume's conceivability objection fails because conceiving a world without uniformity doesn't show non-uniformity is genuinely possible—only that imagination outpaces rational constraints.

Conceivability objection(a specific objection against physicalism): An argument that challenges a theory by pointing out that we can imagine or conceive of situations that seem to contradict it.
Hume(as the main philosopher discussed in this statement): David Hume was an 18th-century Scottish philosopher who argued that human knowledge comes from experience and observation rather than pure reasoning alone.
Rational constraints(logic and epistemology): Logical rules or limits that all reasonable thinking must follow if it's going to make sense—like the rule that something can't be both true and false at the same time.
Uniformity: Uniformity means that something is consistent, even, or the same throughout—whether in appearance, quality, or behavior. For example, a uniform color in a painting means the same shade appears across an area, or uniform rules mean the same guidelines apply to everyone equally. In general use, it describes anything lacking variation or difference.
