Poll: Is Anything Possible?

[Shankity Stick]

I dare anyone to disprove ANYTHING, if you factor in magic, other planets, and alternate dimensions. My logic is that we can't prove that something definitely doesn't exist/ happen somewhere out there. That is the one thing that is impossible. But by all means, try to disprove something to me.
P.S. Anyone trying to disprove something visual I?m sick of repeating my self so here goes, maybe x is happening, you just don't realize it.
P.P.S The argument that a 4 sided circle cant exist is easly countered. A 4 sided circle does exist, we just call it a square.

I'd say yes, even without magic.

 

[Marter]

I can't, you win.

 

[Quid Plura]

Your own behaviour? You can disprove you are drinking a whiskey right now. Still, I see your point.

 

[Shankity Stick]

Maybe not in this reality, but in an alternate dimension I might be.

 

[fulano]

Don't you think wording the post better might give us a little better room to work with? I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

Are you asking whether or not we think that by not being able to disprove something it automatically means that particular something is possible? That's what I get from the post, but honestly I'm not sure.

 

[Gardenclaw]

Well if you're including alternate dimensions then yes anything is possible. As the Dimension theory of reality would mean that in some dimension somewhere everything happens.

Tieing your shoelace while being kicked in the crotch by optimus prime. Impossible you say?

But feasibly you could be and just be too drunk to realize it.

Hell, for all I know everything is one big hallucination and I'm actually an 90 year-old man named Sanchez, dosed out of his mind on painkillers in the bathroom.

A square with 3 sides can't exist. Not even magic can do this because if you do you either make a triangle or an object that is not a polygon. I am of course assuming you don't take the easy way out and start changing definitions at which point I will change your "anything" to mean "almost anything" at which point I will agree.

go to the center of a black hole or you know, look around you(physics was broken at least once to get you to exist).

There is something that I can disprove to you.

The statement "You do not exist."

This is because logical absolutes are not dependant on perception or even the state of reality.

Even different dimensions have laws of physics that can't be broken. They are different laws but laws nonetheless. Note he didn't say "out laws of physics" but "laws of physics" in general which means they change when you change universes (probably).

Quantum mechanics (in the realm of my understanding I am no expert) from what I have read says that there are things that you just can't quantify so... there is room for things that are impossible as we understand the term. Also in a truly infinite universe everything that can happen must happen so there is a "gay and poorly thought out harry potter magic fixes everything" universe.

 

[Redingold]

There are many things that can't happen by definition, like having a 13 inch foot, or a circle with 4 corners.

Nope. Even in other dimensions, some things have to remain. Otherwise the universe would collapse in on itself/be to cold to live/be too hot to live/plenty of other nasty stuff.

The former can happen if we change the definition of a foot(when I am king of everything I will do it to scare the triscadecaphobians). The latter is logically inconsistent so you are right.

Even different dimensions have laws of physics that can't be broken. They are different laws but laws nonetheless.

But if our laws can be broken there, then who's to say theirs can't be broken some where else, plus there is (possibly) an infinite number of dimensions, therefore, an infinite number of dimensions to break each others rules.
