Anything is possible

You can breath a house. You can even be a house. In a dream one can accomplish this. In a semi dreaming state or a drug induced state one may also. For you to even attempt to breath a house though you would first have to change your perception of what a house even is. I say its possible.

Hell most people will conclude that bending a spoon with mind power may be possible. So why wouldnt breathing a house?

Ok i will refine my point, An average man on earth cannot breathe a house.

An average man is what 5"11, weighing about 12st, now for him to breathe a house starting from his lungs, i still think it is impossible no matter how open-mindedness you are.
If you think about someone breathing air, the oxygen is brought in and then carbon dioxide is let out...right, well in this case the 30"ft by what..25" house has to go in at which the person would have blown up upon even attempting this, then dont forget, it has to come back out after, plus where is the house going to stay in the body because im not sure the lungs are going to be able to take the capacity of the house.

Wait a second. Do you think it is impossible, or 100% know it is impossible? Huge difference! If you 100% know it is impossible then you've got to be right(by definition). I believe that there is less than a 1 in 743,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.4% chance that it I will learn in the next few years how to breath in a house except perhaps in my dreams as Wisen Heimer has pointed out. However, I also believe humans know very close to zero about the fundamental reasoning behind the workings of the universe, and without knowing really well what our universe is about, why it exists, and what will happen to it in the future, then I don't see what possible basis one would have to say any given thing within it is either possible or impossible.

I believe we have a sound statistical basis to say various things are likely or unlikely. It is a matter of reasoning and mathematics, I guess. But when you get into the realm of what is technically possible within the universe then it would seem like you first have to know just about everything there is to know before you can claim to have any idea at all about it.

While I believe anything is possible, like "theresult" said, it depends on limitations.

It IS possible that the next sentance I type will begin with a "G"......

But I decided to elude that possibility although it WAS possible.

We could go on for ages, so I'll just say this:

Anything that is possible is also not possible and vice-versa.

And...

It's possible for a box to have only 2 sides.

I like that last comment As it's quite an intriguing debate you have going on i thought i'd add this one too, is this possible? It is a 2 posts from a thread of mine. The posts i want you to read are from cinnamonbrick's post onward, you don't need to read the whole thread, it's just those 2 last posts that i am talking about here.

G, But I decided to elude that possibility although it WAS possible.

It still IS possible that the next line will begin with a "G." It is still possible everytime I look at this thread. The next line begining with a "G" still remains a possibility. And now it has happened.

So everything is possible and even if they never happen or seemingly could never happen, they remain possibilities. You failed to breath a house, but it remains a possibility.
