A woman breaking 10 seconds is impossible with certainty.
It will not happen. That is one of the few things you can be certain of. A woman running that fast chemically would no longer be a woman.
It is much more likely that a woman breaks 4 minutes in the mile, in fact it will probably happen at some point in the next 100 years.
And flojo's 10.49 was massively wind aided, likely with something else so its already the far-extreme outlier. A sub-10 is actually impossible.
You actually cannot know that, unless you are literally defining women as "Person who cannot run sub 10 100m".
It doesn't seem possibly, but I see no way you can absolutely and unequivocally rule out that there could arise some absurd outlier. The probability of such a thing is obviously comically low, but that does not mean it is impossible.
It might be possible to rule out such a thing if we had complete genetic knowledge and as such could analyze every possible gene combination for performance, but we aren't even remotely near any such level of understanding yet.

Crazy I know. probably goes come as a shocker to some folks round here.
You both forgot the juice … it's about training, talent and the juice.
I'm surprised at both of you .. couple of LRC old-timers should know better. :)

Haha probably, but this remains one area in which I prefer to live in willful ignorance; innocent until proven guilty for me.
I thought the beet juice thing was a new fad... I'm pretty ignorant about it myself.
