Does a proof that it's not possible count?
∂²Ψ    -(2m(V(x)-E)Ψ
---  = -------------
∂x²        ℏ²Ψ

Here's a harder one: Find natural numbers a, b, and c where a3+b3=c3 :P

03 + 03 = 03

And yes, 0 is a natural number. The standard way to define the natural numbers in modern mathematics is to represent 0 with the empty set, 1 as the set {0}, 2 as the set {0,1}, etc.

Numquam te plorare faciam; numquam valedicam; numquam mendacium dicam et te vulnerabo

That's defining the cardinality as a number, which it does not appear to be. For example, the cardinality of the set of natural numbers is infinity. The cardinality of the set of real numbers is of a greater infinity. If cardinality are real numbers, then would there not be multiple types of natural infinities?
