If 200 years is too long I can give you examples with a very short time delay:
- ALL inventions were not invented 1 hour before they were invented. So in 1 hour things changed, and things that were impossible became suddenly possible.
- But I can make the delay still shorter if 1 hour is too long for you:ALL inventions were not invented 1 millisecond before they were invented. So in 1 millisecond things changed, and things that were impossible became suddenly possible.
If the difference in IQ between two persons is more than 30, they cannot have any intellectual conversation. I leave in the middle who has the highest: you or me.
I hope you can understand my posting.

Not entirely true. Roughly 200 years ago was when science fiction was born, as distinct from pure fantasy which was all bound up in the supernatural. FRANKENSTEIN (1818) is regarded by many to be the first science fiction novel, so that takes care of #2. And by the early nineteenth century some people had already "flown" -- in hot-air balloons! Science fiction has always been popular for highlighting possible futures, as opposed to purely imaginary fantasies that no intelligent person believed were signs of things to come.

Fantasy : usually term used by someone who is extremely upset by someone's goal.
The psychology behind people who love using this word is "impossible" and
the resulting behaviour of such psychology is to make sure it is "impossible", the person blocks by any means possible any possibilities.
Effectively this person usually fears being exposed as a huge failure, should
anybody achieve what they deem a "fantasy". All negative psychology there really.
Kut2k2 : you can do better.

Is it so difficult for some people to understand the real point I wanted to make? 200 years is irrelevant. What is relevant is: CANNOT" is timebound and temporary. What cannot now, can maybe in a short time, and what can now maybe cannot anymore in a short time.
I become desperate that apparently some people are not able to make any difference between the essence and the rest in a statement or example.
Ok I understand now. CANNOT is time bound, therefore if something CANNOT for eternity it remains time bound. So for instance, the Romans, on the whole, could not win at their casinos 1000+ years ago, this CANNOT remains true to today because people on the whole still can't win at casinos.
So the conclusion is: certain CANNOTs are eternal. But I suppose an eternity is only temporary until we are dead. Once we die, our eternity no longer exists for the other people who are still alive.

“It always seems impossible until it's done.”
until ... can be 1 seconds, can be 1 year, can be 1000s years.
By the way, even at casinos there are winners for whom the impossible is possible.

My point: CANNOT is only conditionally time-bound. Some things that are impossible now will come to pass. Other things that are impossible now are impossible forever. Perpetual motion is impossible forever. It pays to be precise.

You NEVER wrote CONDITIONALLY till now.
My native language is not English so maybe I did not explain correctly what I meant.
Of course it is condtitional, like almost everything is conditional. Thats's why I wrote MAYBE.
I wrote:What cannot now, can MAYBE in a short time, and what can now MAYBE cannot anymore in a short time.
- So what is impossible now can become possible or can stay impossible.
- So what is possible now can become impossible or can stay possible.
- So what is impossible now can become possible and later become impossible again.
- So what is possible now can become impossible and later become possible again.
- So what is impossible now can become possible, later become impossible again, after that become possible again, after become impossible again, after that become possible again, after become impossible again, after that become possible again, after become impossible again, after that become possible again, after become impossible again, after that become possible again, ......................
The four most probable scenario's are:
- From possible to impossible
- From impossible to possible
- Always stay possible
- Always stay impossible
Forever is an extremely long time. New sciences will be invented. We will surpass the conditional limits imposed by our current understanding of physics. Perpetual motion will coexist with what remains of the old laws of physics ...as certain as we by our nature as evolving intelligence will spend eternity finding new limits and surpassing them.
