Technical piano playing

Are repeated 16ths (one hand) at 152bpm impossible?

No.

Maybe for the most talented pianists of the world. But it's not too practical.

Really? Why not?

I suppose it depends precisely which 16th's he's talking about; however, even I (a less than mediocre pianist) wouldn't have much trouble if given a pattern to play in 16th's @ 152.

I think what I should have said, it needs context! Variables such as: Dynamics, how long repeating the note for, what the other hand is doing, lol what kind of piano (most uprights don't have that kind of action), how "even" you want each repeating tone to be, ect. CONTEXT WOOO!

What kind of factors contribute to whether or not it is possible? Specifics.

This is what I wrote that brought it up:

I need to be more aware of the technical limitations of most proficient piano players.

it shouldn't be a problem if they can use both a finger and a thumb
