Does one who knows all know how to do the impossible?

Can anything be truly indescribable?

Does 0/0 (zero divided by zero) = All real numbers? ... Calculators always say 'undefined'...

I was just reading up on paradoxes when I came across Boyle's Self Flowing Flask... This seems very possible... why isn't it? Or is it? But then it couldn't be, because then we could create energy by putting a ?hydro electric converter? under the 'fountain'...

What I think I'm saying here is: If the downward pressure in the flask is greater than the downward pressure in the tube, won't the water in the tube continue to rise, thus refilling and represurizing the flask?
