Impossibility – something that is not able to occur, exist or be done. Any thing that is very difficult to deal with. Or a very unreasonable person. A system of ideologies that cannot equate to a realistic outcome. The instance of actually completing this project with a proposal of an impossible project is impossible. Something that is impossible does not give the illusion that it can be complete. Nevertheless, I will attempt to begin a list of impossible proposal possibilities that are possibly impossible because they are instances of the social systems that we are currently living in and are in place by those who have agreed upon them or because of the laws of nature and physics.
