Is anything possible? Hundreds of years ago, many of the things we have subsequently discovered and built would have been considered impossible.

A hundred, thousand or a million years from now, what will be impossible?

Agree Carlos, I might add "giving an answer to this question".

Nothing is impossible. Use the force, Luke. There is no try, there is only do, or do not.

In a hundred years, it will still be impossible for people to understand and be nice to each other.

In a thousand years, it will still be impossible for men to understand women.

In a million years, it will be impossible for anyone to think the way we think and behave now.

If we are not rendered extinct by any of the thousands of doom scenarios then I look for---

Anti-gravity

Eradication of disease (death only by violence or cell exhaustion)

Time travel

Chocolate on demand that does not cause pimples or dental caries

If you are old enough to remember Mission Impossible on TV, you know that each week it turned out to be possible.

If the mind of man can concieve IT then in all probability he will at some future date construct IT.

Impossible is just a degree of difficulity.

All things are possible until proven otherwise.
