if you claim something is impossible when it is not against the laws of physics (and even if it is against those, it may be possible to go to other universe!) you are the one making the claim. i am saying anything that is within the law of physics can happen.

Excelllent!  Can we agree to stick to our universe for the time being?  Sticking to this universe I am saying exactly the same thing you are saying:

i am saying anything that is within the law of physics can happen.

Only it turns out that withing the laws of physics (in this universe) it is not possible.
how so? the only reason given for this i have seen in this thread is the number is too big that we will ever be able to handle it. but that's not a law of physics. and that is completely irrelevant because we are not talking about being able to crack private keys at will, we are talking theoretical possibility to crack it once by complete (1)/(2/\256) luck
what force is preventing me from writing down all the characters of a private key completely randomly, and then entering it into my computer?
