Impossible is a relative condition
This article is about understanding that nothing is impossible. I will start with an example.
Let me ask you what you would think if I said that it were possible for man to grow wings and fly. What would your response be? Many of you would say, that is impossible. Is it? I can think of many ways in which this is entirely possible, even one that does not rely on science that does not exist yet.
The most natural way for man to go about growing wings would be to use evolution to his advantage. Sure, it will take 5 million years, but it is possible, and this is how you'd do it.
First, you'd need to setup a company or government agency, on an island. It cannot be done individually because you need the heredity of focus that a company can provide. This company would need to be profitable via any means related or unrelated to science. However it is profitable, it will need to have the vision to reinvent itself every so often as it's products or services will surely become irrelevant many times over. The idea is that this company needs to sustain the main effort for a very long time, read millions of years. Remember in this scenario we we are not accosting genetics, we are merely guiding it, hence millions of years.
Second, you need to find a group of scientists willing oversee the project knowing that their work will amount to nothing, and they will never be known for any of their accomplishments. We'll call this group, the Guides.
Third, you'll need to find volunteers that are willing to give up all their rights, and the rights of their offspring. Their offspring however would not know, becoming tantamount to Jim Carrey's character in the movie The Truman Show. We'll call this group the Subjects. This group may surprisingly number in the hundreds, even thousands.
The Guides would be tasked with several very boring duties. First, you need to assure the Subjects remain content, happy, and need free. This is of course only until after the initial Subjects die. The Guides will also have to decide which will be the fastest way to provoke evolution. Evolution responds to both good and bad circumstances, however I presume one more quickly than the other. I'm guessing "Survival of the fittest" gives us our nod, as I don't recall the saying "Survival of the most content".
Starting right away, you need to dumb the subjects down. This can be done in many ways, presumably the most logical would be the food or water supply. It should be gradual - again, until after the initial subjects die. The goal here is to make sure they don't try to make and use tools. Another helpful hint will be to start shortening the natural life span of the Subjects. 80 years is superfluous.
You'd need to control the available food supply and materials that are present. Speaking of the environment, I am guessing that it would need to be comprised of disparate steep and narrow mountains, with an abundance (but not an overabundance) of trees. These mountains would be separated by flatlands. The Subjects would need reason to travel from mountain to mountain on a daily basis. This might be done by controlling the mountains that provide shelter, and the mountains that provide nourishment, etc.
Clearly one way to go would be to introduce an underground threat into the Subjects environment. For those of you trying to imagine all of this, keep in mind that the threat does not need to be real, it can be man made, or possibly even a perceived threat. An important feature of the threat is that it would need to be able to instantly kill, without warning, and without being noticed. The last thing you'd want is for the Subjects to be able to fight the threat. Even if they can't win, the mere fact that they can fight it won't be conducive to the goal. You need the Subjects to need a way, not find a way. I recommend when needing to kill, to kill the elderly, but you'll need to kill some young as to keep up the threat, and not create a noticeable pattern.
Humans are creative, patterns can be noticed, and tools can be made from almost anything. The initial Guides will have their work cut out for them to stifle these opportunities.
You won't see any change for the first couple thousand years, but eventually you'll see the Subjects bodies, and more importantly arms, become much lighter and thinner. The Subjects would become very fast. In fact, thinking about it, I'd recommend placing small rocks sporadically on the flat lands. You don't want the Subjects to only become very fast, you want to them to never be fast enough, and have safe havens to understand that - physically.
I think you can see where this is going, so I will stop there. If we perverted the genetics of the Subject, the transition would be even faster.
Not to get too far off the subject but can you imagine if we had several of these "islands?" One could make man breath underwater, another could make us be able to withstand extreme heat, and ultraviolet light. I guess we are all just content with what we are... or maybe we just have not looked at man as a future, instead of as a present.
Back to the impossible
I started out by saying that the impossible is only a condition, and a relative one at that. This is to say that it is impossible for man to grow wings and fly - in my lifetime. This is why we see many things as impossible - because they are impossible to us. You have to remember that everything we think, see, and feel goes through an initial filter, the filter of the observer.
Nothing is impossible, which means that everything is possible. Notice I didn't say that anything is possible, but rather everything. This is an important distinction. You must understand that everything is possible in order to achieve what you think is impossible. When everything is possible, up and down don't just become the same, but still remain the opposite. Positive and negative are equivalent, and nonequivalent. This is why the saying, "life is what you make of it", will always be true.
Many of the rules we feel exist in our world, are completely man made. In fact, my above "experiment" can quite possibly be seen as our life today. Humankind has unwittingly been the Guide, and the Subject. Or, another way to look at is is simply that humankind is the subject, and we are ignorant of the Guides. In many ways your God can be seen as a Guide.
Impossible is of course is a valid condition as long as it is understood to be relative. You might be thinking that if everything is possible, then all mathematical formulas are incorrect. Not at all. Formulas and theorems are merely an instruction pamphlet. In fact, if we create a new need for something that does not yet exist, we can create a formula to to create it. When something is and is not, it really is, and it really is not. So mathematically, you can show that it is and likewise, that it is not. Maybe a good way to look at existence, would be more like the term available.
Why should I believe you?
You shouldn't. However you will. If you have read other parts of this website you would know that I am currently working on a project that will be a huge blow to science - in a good way. In a single moment sometime this next year, all of science will change. One day you will turn on your television and be looking at one of the worlds most impossible possibilities.
