Everything is possible just mostly improbable, especially in our life time but who knows what may happen in 100-500 years time.
Whether it be through science, technology, education, determination, money or drugs, ANYTHING is possible! 
On a more serious note, I wouldn't know if something is impossible unless it never happens/ proven.

Oh... bugger. Wait! I don't have a ski, the VR environment just made me think I did. Turns out it's just a fork. Still fine, unless there's a long chain of VR environments, each causing me to believe I'm in another, or there's some form of illusory magic causing me to think that the ski is a fork.wildpeaks said:

Not impossible, Improbable. According to Quantum physics it is entirely possible for you to walk through a wall. Unfortunately for this to happen, the electromagnetic field generated by every atom in your body (which is a lot of individual electromagnetic fields) would have to glitch out and not interact with the electromagnetic field generated by the atoms in the wall which is also a lot of individual electromagnetic fields. That combined with the improbability of a single one of your atoms passing through a wall makes it very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very ,very... very,very,very... very, very unlikely.SakSak said:
I'm done with this argument. No one on earth can disprove logic because logic is the only way we know how to prove/disprove anything, making your argument correct about earth, not everything everywere everyposobility <=(if that isn't a real word then I coin it and demand it be included in the next dictionary).SakSak said:
You just straight up ignored half of my argument. Whatever I will just restate it(and make it more blatant and long so you don't miss it again!Shankity Stick said:
). You are a product of your DNA and environment. Every little detail matters. You can remove something said to you once and come out completely different. There are two things that makes "you" you. Your physical being and what is private to the rest of the world. It is your thoughts, emotions, reactions to stimuli, etc. Change the environment (lets say in a different universe where only one thing is different in your(her) life) that you(she) will be different because of it. Her thoughts will change slightly, her reactions will change slightly, etc. Regardless of that, your thoughts are independent of hers, your feelings are independent of hers, etc. Thus you cannot be the same person. You may look similarly, act similarly, think similarly(etc), but you are not the same. The change between your lives doesn't need to be that great. It could be as small as the wording of one thought once. That is enough to prove that your thoughts are not dependent on one another and you are thus two different people.
Thank you sir, for proving that you lack reading comprehension. I attemped to show you the inherent flaw n his original argument, but apparently overestimated you ability or willingness to think on this:spartan231490 said:
His argument could be restated as: "Nothing is impossible EXCEPT...", but the disparity should be obvious when one reads the poll options, and the poll question.
He also happens to be wrong, as I have shown. It is impossible to disprove logic.
Then make an argument for why logic is tied to this particular reality. Make an argument for why concepts cannot cross hypothetical borders between universes.Shankity Stick said:
Make an argument for why, even in theory, it would be possible for someone, somewhere, to disprove logic without using logic.
If you cannot, admit that you are wrong and that there are things that cannot be done.
But each dimensional copy will have a copy with just one change, as will each of those, as will each of those... Whilst this theory will lead to a few universes in which the exact same thing occurs, it will also lead to some where the sheer number of differences results in a radically changed setting.Shankity Stick said:
Also, consider the power of one small difference - dimensional twin of Lee Harvey Oswald; doesn't shoot JFK - one small difference, but it changes the entire world
Quantum Mechanics does not extend to concepts.Canid117 said:
I argue that it is impossible, even in theory, anywhere at any time by anyone/anything, to disprove logic.
Because the attempt would by necessity need to include logic at some point.
Even if only at the phase of claiming "Because of X, logic is disproven." Because this phrase itself relies on logic to be true. Thereby using that which it is attempting to disprove, as critical part of the proof.
QM has nothing to do with this. Because QM deals with subatomic particles, not logical absolutes or concepts.
Yes.
Impossible is just 'something we don't understand how to do yet,'
Throughout history the basic laws of what is and isn't possible have been rewritten and rewritten repeatedly. I've no doubt that in time what we consider impossible, even within very basic things llike the laws of motion, will become possible.
It's all a matter of working out how.

The thing is, I don't have to. I just have to say that somewhere, logic could not exits. Why don't you try to disprove that.SakSak said:

Disprove that.

the "laws of physics" is something that we made up because we can't figure out a way to break them.crudus said:
Given enough time i'd say anything is possible. I mean a hundred years ago you tell someone we'd have something like the internet in a century they'd probably lock you up as crazy.
