Yes, for example, if I argue that it is impossible for humans to travel faster than the speed of light, I can provide evidence from Einstein's theory of relativity and the laws of physics.
Determining if something is impossible requires a thorough examination of scientific principles, laws, and evidence. It also involves considering potential limitations and boundaries within our current understanding of the universe.
No, as science is constantly evolving and our understanding of the world is always expanding, it is difficult to definitively prove that something is impossible. However, we can use scientific evidence and reasoning to support the argument that something is highly unlikely or implausible.
In science, we are always open to new evidence and ideas that challenge our current understanding. If new evidence or technology emerges, scientists will re-evaluate and potentially revise their arguments about the possibility or impossibility of something.
Yes, as technology and our understanding of the world advances, things that were once thought to be impossible can become possible. For example, humans once thought it was impossible to fly, but with the invention of airplanes, we can now fly. However, it is important to note that some things may always remain impossible due to fundamental laws of nature.
