Is Feasibility in Physics Limited by Fantasy Alone?

Although various limits on the predicability of physical phenomena as well as on physical knowables are commonly established and accepted, we challenge their ultimate validity. More precisely, we claim that fundamental limits arise only from our limited imagination and fantasy. To illustrate this thesis we give evidence that the well-known Turing incomputability barrier can be trespassed via quantum indeterminacy. From this algorithmic viewpoint, the "fine tuning" of physical phenomena amounts to a "(re)programming" of the universe.
