Catch-42 

A catch-42 means to think the unthinkable, make the impossible possible, or turn a seemingly hopeless or paradoxical situation into a solvable problem. The result is a groundbreaking realization that takes us beyond our imagination and fundamentally changes our way of life and view of the universe.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation or Einstein’s theory of relativity are prime examples of catch-42s.

This morning I woke up and had catch-42. Now I know how to make a Quantum Computer work.
