No-go theorem

Not to be confused with No-ghost theorem.

In theoretical physics, a no-go theorem is a theorem that states that a particular situation is not physically possible. This type of theorem imposes boundaries on certain mathematical or physical possibilities via a proof of contradiction.[1][2][3]
