Separating The Impossible From The Improbable..

What is impossible? What defines such an absolute term of phrase in this day and age.. I feel this term has changed its meaning and become less used and needed in today's ever evolving world.

Two hundred years ago, if I were to say that we would be flying around in metal machines, travelling hundreds of miles in mere hours and travelling into the heavens where the stars reside, each of these possibilities would of been met with immediate ridicule and be dismissed as impossible by the high majority.

Here we are however, in the age of technology and at the pinnacle of development in our current civilised status. The world now, with the influence and expansion of science, industry and technology has become a very different place. This is now a place where the term impossible is met with curiosity and wonder instead of dismissal.


Will we be able to create a robot that could operate exactly like a human? Possibly.

Will we be able to exceed the speed of light? Improbable, not impossible.

Many more questions reside in this category and as we develop, we have begun to have a whole new concept of what is possible and what really defines 'impossible'. The faith we have in science has risen to a point where almost anything cannot be 100% ruled out. Science fiction today may one day become science fact, and there can be no definitive rule that could categorically say otherwise.

Defying Gravity.. Is It Possible?

As crazy and unlikely as all of science fiction may seem to us, there is a fundamental force at play that if able to be controlled, could make those stories and shows a thing of the here and now and within the grasp of our lifetimes..

Gravity. If we ever found a way of manufacturing ways to control it and bend it to our will, then we may have control over many more things that would vastly change the prospect of humanity's future. For example:

- Space travel. This could be done without the concern of long term damage to our bone structure.
- Space travel again. Being able to bend gravity itself may make lightyears condense down to much smaller units of time, as we may be able to understand more about how to bend space around us, rather than us fitting into space.
- Time Travel. You never know, these could be linked and from various sources it would appear they could be.
- Weight will have no value. If gravity were turned off in a sense, a once heavy item could suddenly be manageable. This would work also for vastly large structures.

On a more negative note however, if possible and if discovered, due to the implications of such an ability, this could spell dire times ahead for all of us if handled wrongly.
