What Makes the Impossible… Impossible?
What makes the impossible … impossible? Don’t make it hard … the answer is simple. Something is impossible because nobody has done it … yet. When someone does the “impossible” then it becomes possible and eventually, it will become routine.
It’s Roger Bannister running a sub-Four Minute Mile. When he accomplished that in 1954, no one had achieved that feat. He made the impossible … possible. Let’s jump ahead … during the 2021-2022 collegiate track season, 82 student-athletes in the NCAA, ran a sub-four-minute mile. (The men’s record for the mile run has 3:43.13 – Hicham El Guerrouj from Morocco).
The next “impossible” feat accomplished will be when the first woman runs a sub-four-minute mile. Right now, the fastest mile run by a woman is 4:12.33, run by Dutch runner Sifan Hassan, born in Ethiopia. This means that she would have to take three seconds off each lap … that’s a lot. But it’s only impossible because no had done it … yet.
