In the area of "Impossible", I was recently asked to spec a vacuum pump that was "better" than the infinite(?) vacuum of space.

No this wasn't some exotic UltraHyperSuperStupendousHighVacuum stuff for an exotic instrument. We were just trying to empty a bottle from 1 bar to about 0.01 bar as quickly as possible.

When the requester is 2nd from the top at a national lab, it was hard to keep my reaction discreet enough to keep my job.
