Mehmed II: "In order to see the boundaries of the probabilities, we need to try the impossible."
(His justification for hauling ships overland to bypass the Golden Horn chain, an "impossible" feat that broke the siege.)

The quote by Mehmed II, "In order to see the boundaries of the probabilities, we need to try the impossible," is a concise statement of his radical ambition and innovative, risk-taking military philosophy that led to the conquest of Constantinople.

This quote embodies the following concepts:

1. Rejection of Conventional Limits
The phrase "the boundaries of the probabilities" refers to what is conventionally considered achievable or reasonable based on existing knowledge and history. Mehmed II's point is that accepting these limits means never realizing one's full potential. He was not interested in what was likely, but in what was possible.

2. The Necessity of the "Impossible"
To push past these conventional boundaries, one must attempt what others deem the "impossible." This reflects his most audacious engineering and military feats, most famously:

The Massive Cannon: Commissioning the "Urban Cannon," a siege gun so large it was considered an impossible logistical challenge by European powers, but was crucial for breaching the massive walls of Constantinople.

Hauling Ships Over Land: Moving his fleet, on greased logs, over the hilly terrain of Galata and into the Golden Horn, bypassing the massive chain that the Byzantines thought made the harbor impenetrable. This was widely considered a logistical impossibility.

3. Pragmatic Idealism
The quote is not purely idealistic; it is pragmatic. By trying the impossible, one doesn't just gain a victory; one gains knowledge—the true "boundaries" of what can be achieved. For Mehmed, every successful "impossible" act reset the definition of possibility for his empire and demoralized his enemies, who realized their defenses were based on outdated beliefs about his limits.
