Sure. Since limitless power is impossible, so are its capabilities.
Now, all you have to do is prove the proposition.

Yea, but if there is a limitless power then we are already part of it.

Does that mean we're part of the Impossible, too?
Could they be one continuous entity, possibilitypower, like spacetime?

The things that are immediately impossible you can conceive of through your own intellect and will-power and your present perceptions of the world thereof. In the abstract sense anything is possible.

If you were to have a vast knowledge of all possible simulations you would know that limitations don't have to exist in there, and the abstract and creative mind can have a limitless reality. However, this human world, this planet, your governing society, even this universe enforces and runs by law.

Try: Kaku, "Physics of the Impossible."

Can a limitless power do the impossible? — leo

To me, this question belongs in the same category as "Can Santa Claus beat up the Easter Bunny." They are meaningless.

So, since a limitless power (let’s say that also includes limitless imagination) isn’t limited as we are, couldn’t we say that it can also do everything we call impossible?

What do you think? :smile: — leo

I think it seems incoherent.

Maybe you could start by defining power. What does power look like as the limits are removed?

Then, too, there is the question of what "limitless imagination" - what intelligence - is wielding all that power.

Leo, there are three types of answers to your question.

The believers in god will say the question is absurd, and it does not make sense. This is because of the conundrum of "can an almighty god create a stone he himself can't lift?" If he can, he is not almighty, because he is not mighty enough to lift it, and if he can't create such a stone, then he is not almighty in his task of creating things. The religious who have faith in an almighty god hate this question and their standard reply is "this is absurd", in so many different words. Your question begs this scenario, so by rank and file they MUST answer that the question is absurd.

Then there is the logical answer, that no, a limitless power can't do the impossible. Because the impossible also includes self-contradictions, similar to the god-stone-creation-lift example above. They may concur that there are SOME impossibilities that are possible to perform when you have limitless power, but some impossibilities are impossible to perform when it leads to self-contradiction or paradoxes.

Then there is the Quantum Mechanics camp, which will give you a resounding YES, even if the task leads to self-contradiction: The cat is alive and dead in the box. The smaller a volume of space, the more energy it contains, regardless its contents. Other examples abound in QM. to prove that self-contradictory or paradoxical events are everyday happenings in the quantum world.

:"Limitless power" implies nothing is impossible. Don't you think? So the question is an exercise in recognizing incompatible concepts, kind of like asking can a circle be square.
