    "Nothing is impossible!"

    If nothing is impossible, then everything is possible. If everything is possible, then there are no rules or laws or boundaries or limits. I think that this is an important concept for modern scientists to consider, if we want to get to the next stage in human evolution.

    How do you justify the statement that nothing is impossible?

    I'd like you to justify this as well.

    Everything includes all things, all things are possible, all impossible things are no things hence nothings. That is my answer and I hope everyone agree.
    Important to know is also that all contradicting things are no things hence nothings.

    I think you're getting confused between ideas, probability, and existence. 'Something' existing doesn't mean that every idea has a probability of existing.

    For instance, a man can not be taller then himself at any given moment, nor can a (looking through "HUmour in the trash" in thescienceforum) cat poop more then its own weight. Unless in some really sick special case.

    Quite possibly correct, the major flaw being, of course, that some things are impossible.
    I tried destroying the Earth last night using nothing more than two dead matches and hamster. Hasn't worked so far, I'll keep you informed of my progress.

    I did that once, and was successful - so it is obviously possible.
    Are you one of those who imagine just because you can't do something, then no one must be able to?
    Like you are Übermensch, or something.

    Every woman who has ever turned you down is a frigid virgin, isn't she?

    If you can't "prove" it can't be done, then it is possible, and it is impossible to prove a negative, so everything is possible (except, of course, proving a negative - because there is always one exception to every rule!).

    And we don't know about it because? Oh, you must have used the "rat and three cockroaches" approach to re-start the whole thing. My apologies.

    Of course.

    You have to ask?

    I wouldn't know, I don't get turned down,they come on to me.

    I can't get everything right all the time.
    That's impossible...

    Nope.
    Two mice and some bright dolphins.

    Silly me.

    If you are Übermensch, then you must know that nothing is impossible, therefore your title is superfluous at best.

    And the ones who don't?

    Nothing is impossible, remember? (except that proving a negative thing)

    I thought that was outdated, rats are easier to get hold of.

    Naturlich.

    See below.

    Haven't come across any yet, so I can't comment.

    If nothing is impossible then I am capable of, and must be, right about everything all the time. Therefore I was correct about it being impossible to destroy the Earth (although note that I indicated that it was impossible FOR ME - YMMV) and must also be correct about about me being Übermensch, neh?

    Outdated?
    Classic?
    Perspective.

    It must be quite time consuming if every woman who has ever seen you hits on you.
    Doesn't it get irritating after a while?


    Ahhh...
    But if everything is possible, then it is possible that you are wrong, no?

    Sorry, but that's about the most worthless collection of words I've ever seen. (Well there ARE others - like MattMar's stuff.)

    There are MANY things that are totally impossible and it's precisely those laws, boundaries and limits that show them to be.

    And I'm not going to provide you with a list - neither of us would live long enough for me to finish typing it.

    It's possible I could be wrong, oh wait...

    Yes. I can't have a pint in peace. And it's equally annoying when the guys start hitting on me as well.

    Well, possible and likely are two different things.

    its impossible to set a nuke off in your boxers and result in your balls not being slightly destroyed. (while you are wearing them)


    peace.

    Do you mean that all the time there's nothing happening (somewhere) or that nothing can happen for all the time?
