Hi Mr. Tom, No, many things are possible. I could win the lottery at the same moment I am struck by lightning while at the same moment a meteor lands on the Mount Everest.
- Hi Mr.
- Tom, No, many things are possible.
- I could win the lottery at the same moment I am struck by lightning while at the same moment a meteor lands on the Mount Everest.
- That doesn't mean it's very likely, and it's extremely improbable.
- When you say something is possible but not probable, it means it's not totally impossible, but it's not likely to happen.
