    i think if you can't prove it can't be done, it means that it is possible that it is possible, it might be possible, it is possibly possible. Just because you can't prove it can't be done does not mean that it necasarrily can be done.

    So... Since he cannot prove it is possible or not possible it is then possible even though it is improbable because probability is not definitive. I see.

    There is hope for the Squarcle.

    No, if you can't "prove" it can't be done it could mean that it's not possible and we just aren't capable of proving it can't be done. (Either now or at any time in the future).

    it is not possible for a naked human male to strap a nuke to his penis (a penis compatible nuke ofcourse) set it off, and still have your penis intact perfectly afterwards.

    and if you think otherwise screw you dont be dumb,

    strap a nuke to your balls and tell me its possible, your sack wouldent even last with a regular hand grenade let alone a nuke.


    peace.

    This statement "nothing is impossible" makes no sense...if nothing is impossible then it's impossible for anything to be impossible.....if its impossible for something to be impossible then it can't be true that nothing is impossible...

    i dont think anybody can argue with that. i guess this thread is now closed to debate.

    peace.

    "For any consistent formal, computably enumerable theory that proves basic arithmetical truths, an arithmetical statement that is true but not provable in the theory can be constructed. That is, any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete."
    From Wiki. (For the simple answer)
    Gödel proved that some things are impossible.

    I find that Götel is very frequently an answer to my posts (at least as I look at it now...) (i'm drunk soryr).


    kokoko...

    Well,,, let's see, Götel is a nice person probably, I don't think he actually PROVED without a glance that there can be any impossible...

    You don't think he proved it?
    You've read him?
    Nah...

    Well, the only reason I can think of if something is impossible would be if the conditions to make it possible are wrong! But then it is still possible given the right conditions.

    Or of course, if you invent a logic and then break it yourself...
