I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THINGS ARE ONLY IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL
they’re not. For instance: particle physics, space travel, and sex on a tree
branch. Everyone thinks, “My gosh, those are impossible! They can’t
possibly happen!” But then they do.

They do.
Everyone has instances of the impossible becoming possible in their
own lives. I don’t mean HUGE things like teleporting or dating an alien—I
mean things like winning the state science fair against all odds or having
their cancer miraculously disappear. These things happen.
Of course, HUGE impossible things become possible every day.
Remember the world’s oldest Twinkie? No one thought it could stay fresh
for decades, but here it is, deliciously edible since 1976.
Anyway, the impossible is only impossible until it isn’t.
Because I’m a physicist and I have a particular affinity for graphs, lists,
charts, and visual aids, I’ve included a list to show a few of the once
impossible things in life that became possible.
Fair warning, life is more fun with:
Charts
Graphs
Tables
Footnotes1
Bullet points
Okay, here it is.
THE THINGS ONCE THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL THEY
BECAME POSSIBLE:
1. 1 million BC—Humans master fire (and have the first hot date
with cooked mammoth and kissing).2
2. 3500 BC—The wheel (need I say more?).
3. 1876—The telephone (and phone sex).
4. 1901—Wireless transmission across the Atlantic.
5. 1961—Space travel.
6. 1996—I was born, because impossibly, both the condom and
birth control failed.
7. 2004—I melted Barbie and Ken using only a potato battery and
my Easy-Bake Oven.
8. 2010—The first atom was smashed at the Large Hadron Collider
and I met Spock.
9. 2012—I lost my virginity to Bernie Berger in the kitchen pantry
while my parents obliviously watched Weird Science in the
living room.
10. 2018—I’m awarded a double PhD in Physics and Computer
Science at age 22.
11. 2020—I land my dream job at CERN, smashing atoms.
12. 2022—I’m stuck to the seat of the wooden pub booth at The
Cock and Bull.
13. 2022—Also, the guy at the table across from mine won’t stop
staring.
14. 2022—No, I mean I’m really, really stuck. As in, my jeans are
practically glued to the wooden seat and they won’t budge. How
is this even possible? It’s not.
I tug at my thighs, pry at my jeans, and wiggle-jerk from left to right.
There’s no fixing it. Somehow, impossibly, I’m glued to the wooden seat in
the booth at the back of my favorite pub. It’s ridiculous, impossible,
embarrassing.
Okay, Serena, pull yourself together. You’re a scientist—you can get out
of any sticky situation life throws at you.
I gather energy, brace my palms on the tacky wooden tabletop, and
shove upward as hard as I can, trying to burst free from my unlikely prison.
I move all of a quarter inch, then rebound hard back to the wood.
“Umph.”
I collapse back against the booth and let out a frustrated breath. Then I
surreptitiously glance from the side of my eyes at the small, round table
next to mine. Yup, the man is still staring while pretending not to stare.
I’ve never seen him here before, which is why I don’t call him over and
