Is anything possible in the universe?

Answer 1

I believe in the laws of physics and the universe which has specific and set limits. However, we don't know all those limits. We don't know what dark matter or dark energy is, but we know they exist. We don't know what is in the higher dimensions or what creates or even carries the force of gravity.

Then there are black holes. At a certain point; the event horizon, the laws of physics as we understand then and no longer apply so anything is possible. So far nothing happening there has affected us, but that doesn't mean it can't.

We use the laws of nature and physics to understand our life the way things work. Science is constantly evolving new theories to explain what is going on and when our understanding improves then we develop new theories to explain it.

Once upon a time light was thought of as a wave and a wave needs a medium to be conducted, this invisible medium was called the ether. We now know that light is a particle; a photon and there is no such thing as the ether.

Einstein first proposed the existence of dark energy; he called it the cosmological constant, a force that works against gravity to accelerate the expanding universe. Later near his death he called it his biggest mistake, yet now we firmly believe in dark energy. As our understanding improves then what we can do with it improves.

Is anything possible; no the universe has limits, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find a way around those limits and keep trying. Antigravity may be possible, currently we don’t know how. We can’t conceive of a shield of force that has no end surfaces to create it or one that can operate in a totally circular pattern like the shields that protect the ships in Star Trek or Star Wars. They are pure fantasy; for now. They violate the fundamental laws of physics, as we understand them. There will always be an asterisk to our laws that reads (as we understand them). Even if we gain the power of the gods we will still be doing that. After all I can create fire from a match, beam signals across vast expanses of space, and show pictures of things that don’t really exist. To a cave man or someone from Galileo’s age these “magical powers” would be those of the gods.

Newton was an accomplished alchemist trying to convert lead into gold. He didn’t understand quantum mechanics so he couldn’t do it. Given a particle accelerator we can. Of course the energy expenditure and the time to smash a large atom to create a smaller one that is gold would be huge and far more expensive then the gold created but, given time we can do it.

The only law that can never be changed, added to or noted with an asterisk is “Never say never.” Just because it isn’t possible today doesn’t mean it won’t be possible in 100 or 1,000 years.

Answer 2

Yes I believe anything is possible. Of course many would say anything that is in the limit of laws of physics, however based on the many mysteries of our universe, these laws can be broken such as the mysterious energy that pushes at the edge of our universe that keeps it expanding. Also astronomers say that as the universe gets older and someday the age of the stars passes and blackholes and remnants dominate our universe, laws can also be broken. Learning of the five ages of the universe you can begin to believe that anything is possible. If you want any information on this check out this link for a good description of each of the ages.

Hope that helps.

human beings choose for to think of something is achieveable and in many situations say so. yet that's not genuine. The Universe is actual and ruled by exact rules that can not be violated. fairly there are technologies we've not imagined yet, yet lots of the technologies we *have* imagined are, in actuality, impossible. it is to no longer say, like a number of our predecessors might, that particular issues are impossible purely using fact they could no longer think of how they could be completed. no longer something that we've ever completed has violated any regulation of physics. quicker-than-gentle shuttle *does* violate actual rules and is impossible -- for *any* technologies. Anti-gravity and anti-inertia additionally are pipe-objectives, requiring the violation of basic rules of the Universe. The Universe does impose particular limits and constraints. So it is unlike Lord Kelvin (and others), together with his one-liner, authoritarian, decrees approximately what's achieveable and what isn't. He did no longer make the argument that i'm making right here.

Answer 4

well, you cant get a degree below absolute 0. you cant accelerate anything with mass to the speed of light. time travel is said to be impossible, einstein proved this, even though some idiots still think it is.

but there are very very few things that are impossible. im pretty sure what i just listed is most of the impossible things.

Answer 5

nope because there universal laws would be always there.. if they don't exist, there wouldn't be order of things and we cannot predict motions.some things, aren't just possible to happen, except when God decided to do some tricks..:)

Answer 6

It would seem that way, since we really don't know everything that is possible. There probably are a few no,nos like you can't go below absolute zero temperature.

Answer 7

as paradoxical as it sounds it is impossible to prove that anything is impossible...

there is no real way of knowing anything for sure, we're wrong all the time as human beings,

the only thing we KNOW exists is our own minds, otherwise we wouldn't be able to think...

then again i could be wrong :P

chew on that one

Answer 8

As long as it doesn't violate the laws of physics, yes ☺

Answer 9

yes it is everything is possible you just have to find a way to do "it"

Answer 10

no not everything. men on earth THEORIZE things that might happen. but they are just THEORIES not TRUTH.
