In 1991 a pen and paper RPG came out called "Tales of the Floating Vagabond".
There was a special talent (from a list of many) that you could take, that allowed a character to "readdress" the laws of physics, provided they had a plausible reason to back it up.
Eg, The characters were on foot and being chased by a fleet of Apache Gunships. One character successfully activated his talent and said "Metal is heavier than air".
<THUD THUD THUD>
<KAB....OOOM!!!>
Oh well, nice use of a talent. Shame he used it just as the choppers were above their heads.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I've seen the bridges of the world and they're for real;
I've had a red light off the wrist without me even gettin' kissed
It still seems so unreal.
I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska
I've seen the sunset in the east and in the west;
I've sang the glory that was Rome,
And passed the hound dog singer's home;
It still seems for the best.
Chorus
And I'm far, far away
with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
with my feet down in the crowds
Lettin' loose around the world
But the call of home is loud still as loud
I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre
And felt the silence hanging low in no mans land;
And all those Spanish nights were fine,
It wasn't only from the wine;
It still seems all in hand.
I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi
The grand Bahama island stories carry on;
And all those arigato smiles
Stay in your memory for a while;
There still seems more to come.
And I'm far, far away
with my head up in the clouds
And I'm far, far away
with my feet down in the crowds
And I'm far, far away
But the sound of home is loud still as loud.
