"ain HKBH mekapeah schar kol briyah"
"hamispalel lesheavar harei zo tefillas shav" >>
These seem to be very different
"ain HKBH mekapeah schar kol briyah" means that is G-d's will
"hamispalel lesheavar harei zo tefillas shav" seems to mean that it is
impossible, i.e. by logic G-d cannot change the past

as mentioned in the article all rishonim seem to agree that G-d can't do
things against logic or basic physics laws.
He separately mentions that Ramchal disagrees.
Are there other achronim that say that G-d can (if he wishes) violate logic or
basic laws of physics (eg change events in the past)
