I think the number would be closer to 1.0 x 10^300 or something. That's 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

And define what you mean by 'physically impossible'. There was a time when the greatest minds on earth thought it was impossible for a man to run a mile in under four minutes. There was a time when they thought the world was flat and that the other planets in the universe revolved around the earth, not the sun, etc etc.
How do you not know that tomorrow some force outside of everything we currently know about the universe will affect me in a way that ables me to grow wings and fly? Perhaps something/someone from another planet in another galaxy who have lived for longer than we have or advanced faster than us.
Maybe the chance of this happening are 1.0 x 10 ^ 10031049812904818248781249 or something but I'm pretty sure that however improbable something is, it is still possible.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
