Quote by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

When the impossibility has been eliminated, whatever remains, no matter how improbable... is possible.

When the impossibility has been eliminated, whatever remains

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Sherlock Holmes, suggests that once all impossibilities have been ruled out, even the most unlikely or improbable outcome becomes possible. It highlights the concept of eliminating all unlikely options or explanations until only a single possibility remains, no matter how far-fetched it may seem. It emphasizes the importance of not dismissing possibilities solely due to their improbability, as long as they are not proven impossible. Ultimately, the quote encourages open-mindedness and challenges us to consider unconventional solutions and perspectives.
