ahh..I see you misunderstand. In the realm of exsistance, everything is "possible" but somethings have a less probable outcome then others.
What are you talking about, "in the realm of existence"? How about the "realm of logic." How probable is a married bachelor?
for example I could levitate right now, but in order for that to happen a strong wind or some other force (localized decrese in gravity) must occur.
Given those circumstances you wouldn't be "levitating" by definition.
These events have low "chance" of happening.
Strong winds are not uncommon. As for "localized decrease in gravity" I have to assume you're making a joke.
Thus the mathmatical probablity of the action of it happening.
Thus
what?
Its not JUST a phenotypic impossibility.
Yes it's "just" a phenotypic impossibility.
Your DNA might rearrange itself in a way to be a bunnies DNA.
Which is why I said it was a phenotypic impossibility, not a genotypic impossibility.
Its just not very likely to happen. thus a mathematical impossiblity.
As pointed out previously an improbable event is not an impossible event. That's why one is called "improbable" and the other "impossible." See, they're even different words. That should be your first clue.
