No, one *can* formulate such a theory. Another theory is that we just
don't know how to do it or don't have an appropriate "something else"
to swap into, yet.

There are lots of things we can do now that we couldn't always do, and
the theory that they were fundamentally impossible would have been
completely wrong.
