So apparently the classic Dark Side Of The Moon album cover isn't physically possible after all.

Not necessarily. We don't know what the index of refraction is on the prism on the album cover, nor even if the whole prism has a constant refraction index, or even if it's solid. But yes, the artist probably didn't depict it based on science.
