Is it possible that you are now, in fact eating cheese and not looking at a computer screen but just not realizing it and yet somehow realizing it simultaneously? is that possible but inconceivable?
Is everything pobbible?

No

No. Name your % age.

The letter S is a long way from the letter B, or did you intend to sneak the word 'bible' in?? Lmao!

What is 'possibility'? May the iteration into the abyss begin.

If the image in my mind as I type into this laptop is one that, if you could experience my consciousness, you would regard as an image of eating cheese, that doesn't mean that I am eating cheese, but just that my mind creates different conscious images when I am typing on a laptop from what yours does to you.

This is the same question as 'does the colour red look the same to you as it does to me?' We can never know, but whatever I see when I look at a red thing is red to me, just as whatever you see when you look at a red thing is red to you.

like if anything is possible does that mean it's possible i don't even exist now???

I was going to ask that question.

René say no.

Could there be a Father, Son and Holy Ghost with all the trimmings - virgin birth, resurrection, second coming, somewhere in the multiverse?

If you roll a pair of standard dice, what is your chance of rolling an 89? I doubt that anything is possible, but even if it were, this fact would be of NO importance.

After all, what would you think of John Doe if he "choose" to believe that the sun will explode tomorrow because it might, just so he can sleep in and not go to work? You might say that he is being unreasonable, lazy, and perhaps even dishonest and cowardly, and you would probably be right.

If you believe something only because it "might" be true, then you are probably believing in it only because you wish it were true.

A = anything is possible

it follows that:

~A is not possible.

There are approximately 5.13 x 10^61 units of Planck time from here to singularity, so "anything" is out the window.

I liked houseofcantor's very specific and scientific counter. Having thought about the original post question, I'd go much further.

I think that almost everything is IMPOSSIBLE, even in an infinite universe.

With the "possible" exception of some quantum phenomena, things in the universe do not happen randomly, but are the result of interacting forces. How fundamental particles (or fundamental waves, superstrings...whatever) react with each other depends upon their fundamental nature/shape/whatever. In short, things happen in VERY specific ways, making 99.99999999999999% of potential happenings impossible.

Now what if someone said, "But suppose you had a universe that had not 10, or 100, but a billion or trillion DIFFERENT fundamental particles, superstrings, forces, etc. Could not anything happen then? No, and that would make the situation even worse: Nothing complex could probably exist at all. Perhaps matter itself would not exist. Certainly not life.
=================
The more I think about the original question, the crazier it seems. Are there any French-speaking worms teaching calculus classes inside of thermonuclear explosions?

No.

Might it even be a certainty? In an eternity, infinity of universe bubbles, could there be such a one? Funny, but, still, I doubt it. I would have to see some credentials - I would still consider a more likely solution manipulation by technologically superior aliens.

I think you meant 'everything' rather than 'anything'. Obviously some things are possible. Or perhaps you meant are all things probable? Here we have to differentiate between interpretation and expression. Probability exists on a statistical, interpretational level. In reality, the details of the coin toss determine the outcome. Same goes for universal reality.

I don't remember who, for the argument, postulated a universe filled with chairs, and nothing else. Meaning, there would be a probability that such a universe existed. Not particularly likely, of course, but never the less. I suppose a much more liekly scenario is one of myriads of universes where the cosntants do not allow for any long lived stars, any elements such that they cn make interestingly complex compounds, and so on.

Not everything is possible. Impossible things are not possible.

Pobbibly, that is.
