1 I, 3 | centre, which, as we know, is impossible); and, secondly, that it 2 I, 5 | magnitude, or whether this is impossible. Let us try the primary 3 I, 5 | cut BB. This, however, is impossible. The infinite, then, cannot 4 I, 5 | however, is clear: that it is impossible to traverse an infinite 5 I, 5 | at all is thus absolutely impossible; since the very smallest 6 I, 5 | But that we know to be impossible.~(7) It can also be shown, 7 I, 6 | only to show this to be impossible in order to prove an infinite 8 I, 6 | to prove an infinite body impossible. But the impossibility of 9 I, 6 | equal time. But that is impossible. Again, whatever the time, 10 I, 6 | Infinite weight is therefore impossible, and the same reasoning 11 I, 6 | infinite lightness are equally impossible.~That there is no infinite 12 I, 7 | compose it. But this is impossible, because, as we have already 13 I, 7 | any process of change is impossible which can have no end. I 14 I, 7 | end. I mean that if it is impossible for a thing to have come 15 I, 7 | or in Egypt, it is also impossible for it to be in process 16 I, 7 | any of these. It is thus impossible for a thing to be moving 17 I, 7 | be infinite, since it is impossible for the infinite to move 18 I, 7 | which we have shown to be impossible.~Moreover, in general, it 19 I, 7 | Moreover, in general, it is impossible that the infinite should 20 I, 7 | it will move. But that is impossible.~That in general it is impossible 21 I, 7 | impossible.~That in general it is impossible for the infinite to be acted 22 I, 7 | equal times. But this is impossible; for the assumption is that 23 I, 7 | or both of these, it is impossible that an infinite body should 24 I, 7 | middle region. But this is impossible while the world is conceived 25 I, 7 | without that movement is impossible. A thing must move either 26 I, 8 | circumference. This, however, is impossible, since, if it were true, 27 I, 9 | point of view it might seem impossible that the heaven should be 28 I, 9 | Such a plurality is in fact impossible if this world contains the 29 I, 10| eternal is to assert the impossible; for we cannot reasonably 30 I, 10| any other condition was impossible.

For in its most proper 34 I, 11| is given because it is impossible that the thing should be 35 I, 12| infinity. This, however, is impossible.~Let us take our start from 36 I, 12| start from this point. The impossible and the false have not the 37 I, 12| significance. One use of "impossible" and "possible", and "false" 38 I, 12| is hypothetical. It is impossible, for instance, on a certain 39 I, 12| also things possible and impossible, false and true, absolutely. 40 I, 12| another thing to be absolutely impossible. To say that you are standing 41 I, 12| say what is false but not impossible. To say, however, that you 42 I, 12| not only false but also impossible. Thus it is not the same 43 I, 12| make a false and to make an impossible hypothesis, and from the 44 I, 12| hypothesis, and from the impossible hypothesis impossible results 45 I, 12| the impossible hypothesis impossible results follow. A man has, 46 I, 12| capacity, another time is impossible and the times must coincide. 47 I, 12| was assumed had not been impossible its consequence would not 48 I, 12| consequence would not have been impossible.~Anything then which always 49 I, 12| infinite time.~It is therefore impossible that one and the same thing 50 I, 12| also excluded. Thus it is impossible for a thing always to exist 51 I, 12| therefore in E. Since then A is impossible, C must be present, and 52 I, 12| been shown that this is impossible. Surely then whatever is 53 I, 12| G, but this we saw to be impossible. And the same argument shows 54 I, 12| this has been shown to be impossible. (4) Again, if the capacity 55 I, 12| other grounds that it is impossible that the destructible should 56 I, 12| in the following way how impossible it is either for a thing 57 I, 12| exists now. It is therefore impossible for what once did not exist 58 I, 12| exist last year. But this is impossible. No capacity relates to 59 I, 12| the subject show it to be impossible that what was formerly eternal 60 II, 1 | generation which they assert is impossible, this fact will have great 61 II, 6 | an infinite time. Equally impossible is perpetual acceleration 62 II, 6 | perpetual acceleration is impossible (and, equally, perpetual 63 II, 8 | both should be at rest is impossible; for, if the earth is at 64 II, 12| throws with the dice would be impossible, but to throw one or two 65 II, 13| directions at the same time was impossible: so it must needs remain 66 II, 14| to the extremity, it is impossible that any portion of earth 67 III, 1 | an indivisible length is impossible. But with respect to natural 68 III, 1 | consider at this point. For the impossible consequences which result 69 III, 1 | impossibility of the view. It is impossible, if two parts of a thing 70 III, 1 | either hard or soft, an impossible consequence is easy to draw. 71 III, 2 | infinite process, which is impossible. The hindrance to its movement, 72 III, 2 | traverse an infinite is impossible, and impossibilities do 73 III, 2 | asked. Is it possible or impossible that bodies in unordered 74 III, 2 | same distance, which is impossible. And the same argument would 75 III, 2 | the same time. But this is impossible. Hence, since the motion 76 III, 2 | constrained movement would be impossible. And the natural movement 77 III, 2 | sense of anything. It is impossible that everything should be 78 III, 2 | pre-existing mass generation is impossible. That which is potentially 79 III, 5 | natural movements, it is impossible that there should be only 80 III, 6 | exclusive infinites, which is impossible. (2) Suppose, on the other 81 III, 6 | already shown that this is impossible. But, on the other hand, 82 III, 6 | other hand, it is equally impossible that the elements should 83 III, 7 | contains an infinity, which is impossible. Therefore the generation 84 III, 8 | are contrary powers, it is impossible to allot any shape to the 85 IV, 2 | water or earth, which is impossible.~
