Science/QM:
A single photon having a momentum of half plank's constant had been considered impossible till now. That's what the "quantum" in quantum mechanics meant anyway. Energy, space, time should come at multiple of plank's constant.
But that impossibility has happened. Photon having a momentum of half planks constant has been measured.
That doesn't throw out the whole plank's constant out of the window though. Scientists are yet to figure out what this means. :-D

- There is something called Godel's incompleteness theorem. Which says you can't prove everything of a mathematical formula, but have to blindly believe in the rest after you have proven some of its parts.
This is not because of limitations in our knowledge. But this rather is a rule of nature. A fundamental law.
We always have to turn to "faith" after a certain level.
