... Never tried to slam a revolving door
... Never tried stapling water to a tree
... Never tried to dribble a football
... Never tried to fly a helicopter upside down
... Never tried to eat water
Any more?

Well, you can slam a revolving door against your friend ahead of you, or if it is locked (not while it is revolving, though).
You definitely can staple some water to a tree. In fact, you can even send it in the mail. Just make sure you seal it well.
The football I never tried, but a hellicopter? Why not? Just pitch the blades the other way.

Only fools say "nothing is impossible." There are very good reasons why some things are impossible.
Some things are impossible because of a definition.
A triangle with four sides is impossible because the very definition of a triangle is a figure with three sides.
Some things are impossible because of a logic. For example, an irresistible force and an immovable object cannot logically exist in the same universe.
Some things are impossible because of a causal paradox. The most famous example is going back in time and killing your grandfather before your father was conceived.
In short, there are plenty of things that are impossible.

Whoever said that was quite right.
For instance, it is quite easy to slap a revolving door if you call the state of being stationary revolving . Thus, a four-sided triangle is possible if triangle means four-sided shape.Posted 12 months ago # -
Thus, a four-sided triangle is possible if triangle means four-sided shape.
Except that it does not.
And if you re-define "triangle" to mean "four sided shape" then it becomes logically impossible to have a three sided triangle.

Yet again, if we redefine triangle as anything it then becomes possible. In order to truly make everything possible, we would need to define everything as being everything else, which renders language utterly useless. As a result, the above is impractical, so the way to make something impossible is to state that "it is impossible for this particular object-that-I-am-pointing-to-with-my-finger be anything else".
However, due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and quantum physics, the above is not entirely correct. There is a tiny probability that the object will mysteriously morph into something else, or that it will vanish and appear on a distant planet. However, this is not practical either, since the equations show that one would need to wait longer the the lifetime of a universe for that to occur.Posted 11 months ago # -
If you warp that triangle through another dimension and do a tesseract, combine it with the G-d particle, and pepper it with Higgs bosons, it is possible that enough theoretical physicists will define the triangle in terms of strings and provide other shapes for your idle consideration, such as a 2-sided Mobius strip, a square sphere, and the inside of a donut.
By the way, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

They actually have helicopters that can fly upside down.

I have a friend who can clap with one hand. It sounds kind of like someone clapping.

Whoever said "Nothing Is Impossible" is lying. I've been doing it for years!

JHF: The word god in "god particle" has no Kedusha whatsoever and should not be capitalized. In fact, capitalizing it gives attributes of HKBH to a physical (pun slightly intended) object and borders on Avodah Zarah.
