Is anything absolutely impossible, /sci/? If so, what?

Op ever having sex?

To believe the sentence "Everyone except me can judge that this sentence is true", in a way which is consistent with the derivation rules of classical logic.

Almost everything is impossible. What kind of a question is that?

[Anonymous No.5954845]

There are lots of things that are impossible. Me suddenly being able to levitate and shoot lightning out of my fingers is impossible. It is impossible for the Earth to transform into a spaceship and fly to a different galaxy.

There are hundreds of things I can think of just off the top of my head that are impossible.

[Anonymous No.5954855]

>>5954845

are you talking about practically impossible or actually impossible?

because all those things you said are technically possible, just not probable

[Anonymous No.5954859]

According to quantum mechanics EVERYTHING is posible.

[Anonymous No.5954863]

>>5954859
this is probably the biggest overstatement of the century and, sadly, one of the many new-age crap concepts that's being attached to quantum mechanics by mentally challanged people.

Matter is energy bro...

[Anonymous No.5956456]

Yes. There are tautological impossibilities. It is impossible to be a married bachelor, etc.

[Anonymous No.5956470]

>>5956456
On second thought, "tautological impossibilities" isn't the right word. More like "contradictory impossibilities", but you get the point. You can't be something and be its opposite at the same time.

It is impossible to:

>Discover the extent to which universe has expanded

[Anonymous No.5957934]

>>5957911
the speed of light is defined as 38mph at that moment in that medium then.

ITT: people saying things are impossible because they would violate current theoretical laws, when electricity violated the laws of whale oilodynamics.

>1 second light travels 7.5 times around the earth

By that logic the headlights of my car shooting beams of light should travel around the earth 7 times and reach my rear end 7 times every second. Yet they only illuminate a small area infront of me despite the straight trajectory.

We have been fed garbage by scientists, they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

> time travel (past specifically)
that remains to be seen - if it turns out that time is symmetrical (it doesn't have an arrow) it might actually be done

> build sentient robots
we're on the verge of accomplishing that one, actually.

>Detect and acquire dark matter
We might be able to do this in the future (there are detectors on Earth to capture and measure it at this very moment)

>Travel to the nearest galaxy
We don't need to, Andromeda is heading straight at us and will collide with us in app. 2 trillion years.

>Discover the extent to which universe has expanded
Probably true

>Understand singularity
Not true at all

>Locate the mind (not brain)
Dunno

>Prove/Disprove that humans have souls
Dunno, probably true

>Prove/Disprove that God exists
True

>Locate/Transfer concience
Not true

>Revive dead people
If they're dead for longer than, like, a couple of minutes - true.

[Anonymous No.5958006]

Ignore these proofism jaded morons OP. What the bleep do we know is still relevant despite being quite old by now. It shows the true power of quantum science once you escape the shackles of an obsession to slavishly obeying old proofs that western science seems to be shackled to. Remember, truth is what matters, not 'proof' and western science holds no exclusive rights to truth.

If you could place a long enough stick horizontally between Andromeda and Milkway then push the stick from the Milkway it is pushed on Andromeda instantly. Now thats faster than light speed.

About 4.5 billion years, although the details are uncertain since Andromeda's tangential velocity with respect to the Milky Way is known to only within about a factor of two.

[Anonymous No.5958033]

Humans will be long dead and gone by then, if not probably shifted to another planet or solar system.

Sadly, it's true.

[Anonymous No.5958055]

>>5958015
You're wrong, sorry.
"Solid" objects aren't truly /solid/, they are composed primarily of the empty space that exists between atoms. When you apply the pushing force on your end, you're creating a wave that travels at the speed of light down the stick. Like how in a swimming pool, if you push on the water, you don't instantly push on the sides. Rather, the wave you create pushes on the sides, even though you pushed something that was in direct contact with the wall. With solids, it's pretty much the same concept.
It sounds silly, but it's science.

[Anonymous No.5958105]

>>5958055
The wave travels slower than the speed of light.

The sentence itself is not formulated in terms of classical logic.

The whole "experiment" was stated by Schrodinger in order to mock quantum mechanic's accepted laws of particles both being and not being in some state.
