"Over unity is more than possible...."
(quoted from a post, here on metabunk.)
The person who typed it, did not realize they created a pun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(over-analyzing it...)
Maybe it's only in this context (over-unity), that makes it a pun.
I've looked-up several usages of this phrase (something is "more than possible")....and it appears in scholarly books and writings.
Dictionary def. of "possible".....
adjective:
possible
1. able to be done; within the power or capacity of someone or something.
"surely it's not
possible for a man to live so long?"
noun:
possible; plural noun:
possibles
1.
a person or thing that has the potential to become or do something, especially a potential candidate for a job or membership on a team.
"I have marked five
possibles with an asterisk"

Or....
"I ate more than possible." (....but because if all was eaten, it
was possible. So to eat more than possible, would be
impossible).
Perhaps "more than possible" means...
'it hasn't happened yet, or has yet to be proven'....or ....
'with sufficient evidence, it could be possible'.
Upon searching definitions,
certain logic systems define "possible" as....
"
possible if and only if it is
not necessarily false (regardless of whether it is actually true or actually false)"
And there are various
Modal Logic symbols used to display temporal concerns...
□ ....It is necessary that .. (in this case "unity")
◊ ....It is possible that … (possibility)
> ...More than (in math)
So a (my) simple equation of the "over unity is more than possible" could be...
> □ = >◊
(I tried, it's all new to me.)
I'm sure there is a better equation.
