27 III, 7 | magnitude is infinite, it is impossible to exceed every assigned
28 IV, 2 | matter or the form? It is impossible that what has no reference

30 IV, 6 | could be together; for it is impossible to draw a line of division
31 IV, 6 | nutriment is body, and it is impossible for two bodies to be together.

35 IV, 8 | equal velocity. But this is impossible.~It is evident from what
36 IV, 8 | already been stated to be impossible.~But even if we consider
37 IV, 8 | Now in the void this is impossible; for it is not body; the
38 IV, 8 | then, is one absurd and impossible implication of the theory.
39 IV, 9 | in the rare, this is less impossible, yet, first, the void turns
40 IV, 9 | But perhaps even this is impossible, that it should move at

45 V, 3 | each other: continuity is impossible if these extremities are
46 V, 3 | existence of their own, it is impossible for the two to be identical:
47 VI, 2 | we have shown that it is impossible for anything continuous
48 VI, 2 | in asserting that it is impossible for a thing to pass over
49 VI, 3 | to be indivisible. It is impossible, therefore, for anything
50 VI, 4 | Consequently, if this is impossible, the whole motion must be
51 VI, 5 | it has changed, which is impossible: that which has changed,
52 VI, 5 | the change. It is equally impossible to suppose that one part
53 VI, 5 | be contiguous (which is impossible): if on the other hand it
54 VI, 6 | in the whole: for it is impossible that it should be in motion
55 VI, 6 | consecutive. But since this is impossible, that which is intermediate
56 VI, 7 | in a longer time, it is impossible that a thing should undergo
57 VI, 7 | with motion. And so it is impossible for one and the same thing
58 VI, 7 | for it would seem to be impossible for the motion of the infinite
59 VI, 7 | Therefore, since this is impossible, the infinite cannot traverse
60 VI, 8 | the time in question-it is impossible that in that time that which
61 VI, 8 | this is being at rest it is impossible for that which is changing
62 VI, 10 | already shown above to be impossible: time is not composed of
63 VI, 10 | line. But since this is impossible, it is likewise impossible
64 VI, 10 | impossible, it is likewise impossible for the indivisible to be
65 VI, 10 | any distance. But this is impossible, for in less time it must

67 VII, 1 | yet prove that anything impossible results from the contrary

73 VIII, 3 | should convince us that it is impossible either that all things are
74 VIII, 3 | theory must be pronounced impossible on the same grounds as those
75 VIII, 3 | compulsory motion, if it is impossible that a thing can be at rest
76 VIII, 3 | have said before that it is impossible that all things should be
77 VIII, 3 | what is not. It is likewise impossible that all things should be
78 VIII, 3 | therefore, that it is no less impossible that some things should

80 VIII, 5 | is also moved (for it is impossible that there should be an

82 VIII, 5 | is evident that this is impossible. For if we adopt the first

84 VIII, 5 | the first alternative is impossible, and the second is fantastic:
85 VIII, 5 | is continuous. Now it is impossible that that which moves itself
86 VIII, 5 | is moved by A, which is impossible.~Here a difficulty arises:
87 VIII, 6 | moved accidentally, it is impossible that it should cause continuous
88 VIII, 7 | shown as follows. It is impossible that there should be increase
89 VIII, 7 | therefore provided it is impossible for a thing to undergo opposite

95 VIII, 8 | number, which is admittedly impossible. Now when we first discussed
96 VIII, 8 | so, inasmuch as this is impossible, the thing must come to
97 VIII, 8 | contrary motions, and it is impossible for a thing to undergo simultaneously
98 VIII, 8 | for here we are met by no impossible consequence: that which
99 VIII, 9 | anything in motion: for the impossible does not happen and it is
100 VIII, 9 | does not happen and it is impossible to traverse an infinite
101 VIII, 10| clear, then, that it is impossible for the finite to cause
102 VIII, 10| infinite force. But this is impossible. Therefore nothing finite
103 VIII, 10| infinite force. So it is also impossible for a finite force to reside
