** In "Doof Side Of The Moon", it's stated that the building Phineas and Ferb built could not be moved by any force on Earth. It turns out to be a case of ExactWords, as it's moved by a force from the ''Moon''.

The event wasn’t described as impossible, but that there was “no force on Earth” that could cause it. Naturally, the force that caused the disappearance was not from the Earth, specifically, it was the moon.

* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' is stated and shown that Bloom's power, the Dragon's Flame, cannot be taken by force, only willingly given or inherited (all bearers have been related, with Bloom receiving it after her older sister's death and said sister inheriting it from their mother). Many have tried, including the [[GreaterScopeVillain Three Ancestral Witches]], and all of them have failed. All of them except the Trix, who did just that as early as season 1. They weren't completely successful at it, as Bloom still maintained enough she could eventually fight back and take all her power.

*** The end of "School Raze" shows all the magic returning to the unicorns and alicorns of the world, and ''three'' beams of magic go toward the Mane Six: Two go to Rarity and Twilight Sparkle's horns, and one goes to Pinkie Pie's nose. Somehow, as an earth pony, Pinkie has tangible unicorn-like magic. Honestly, this explains a lot.

** Firebenders producing colored flame beyond the typical red, orange, and/or white was also supposed to be impossible... until the royal fire siblings Zuko and Azula produced dragon fire and blue fire, respectively. The same goes for the lightning redirection technique; up until Iroh got creative, there was no block or counter to lightning. [[OhCrap Ozai's face]] when [[spoiler:Zuko redirects his own lightning back at him]] says it all in terms of how impossible it was considered to be until it happened.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Comicbook/{{Cyborg}} once got in a BrawlerLock with an insanely strong robot who was working at full power. Cyborg won by going farther than full power. His meter was at around 160% before it [[ReadingsBlewUpTheScale exploded]]. This was in fact the [[AnAesop aesop]] of the episode: Cyborg believed it was impossible for him to get any stronger/faster/better etc. because "I'm a robot; my limits are ''built in''." [[HumansAreSpecial His human half]] allowed his mechanical half to perform better than what should have been possible. [[note]]This has been discussed extensively. The short version: The "100%" was a measure of safe capacity, not maximum. He [[HeroicWillpower forced himself]] to exceed his safe limits.[[/note]]

This is Galilean Relativity, not Einstein's Theory of Relativity. According to Galilean Relativity, it is impossible to know if an object is moving of if the rest of the universe is moving around it. It's more an observation of perspective than a scientific principle.


** Many of Professor Farnsworth's inventions involve screwing logic. For example, the Planet Express ship doesn't fly, it stays put and moves the universe around it. Not to mention the boxes in Universe 1 and Universe A, which contain each other's universes - until the Professor and his Universe A counterpart somehow switch them, so that each box ''contains its own universe''. [[note]]as we understand the Theory of Relativity right now, saying that the ship moves the universe around it is a perfectly reasonable point of view. That is, in fact, one of the cornerstones of Relativity. But bringing RealLife physics to show that the joke is possible ruins the joke.[[/note]]
