如果你所做的事情看起来不可能：1903年《纽约时报》曾说飞机是不可能的。
确切地说，在1903年，他们预测人类在最佳情况下需要一百万年才能建造出有用的重于空气的飞行器（我想这算是讽刺吧）。然而，实际上只用了70天。同年，莱特兄弟驾驶他们的飞机“起飞”了：

To be precise in 1903 they predicted it will take one million years in the best possible case (sarcasm i guess) for humans to build useful heavier-than-air craft. Well it took 70 days. The very same year the Wright brothers arrived or rather "left"...upwards with their airplane:<p>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Flyer<p>https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1ocua1b/in_1903_the_nyt_published_an_editorial_declaring/
