It's possible but that's a rare person that never gets down or unhappy about anything going on.
Is "im always happy" scientifically possible?

While happiness/sadness is subjective, so is hot/cold. No matter where you live, you're going to experience that spectrum to some degree, however it is defined for you.
definitely...its probably a small number, relatively speaking...
doesn't mean they don't have challenges or things they'd like to improve...it's just that they fully understand what they have control of and they don't stress about what they don't have control of...

A life with no extreme difficulties or suffering is definitely impossible...
I don't know who these people are, maybe you're one of them, who's living a pain free life.
You should write a book on your secret to this heaven on earth way of living.
More like some people have, especially those who have endured hardship found a place of neutrality and relaxed judgement. That's more about emotional intellignce than rationale.
I been through hell in my short time on this earth. Things that might break you down might roll off my back and vice versa, it's all about perspective. People who are "happy all the time" can only achieve a fraction of what that implies by meeting adverse experiences with grace and acceptance when they do happen.

How can you be happy with adverse experiences at the same time?
Alot of you are dancing over the original question. Is it scientifically possible to live with permanent happiness?
The question wasn't how some people got thru hard times and have common sense and a better understanding and appreciation etc etc etc etc...
Are these people Always Happy was the question

Not yet but once the subdermal implants kick in people will be set adrift on engineered bliss due to low level modulation of neurochemicals via augmented awareness. That and aging will be dramatically slowed along with complete control over various bio functions.
Life will be quite different on this planet. We will look like cavemen to them.
Easily, perspective.
Some people celebrate when they lose loved ones, some people collapse.
I already answered no, more than once lol
Despite the word 'scientifically' being thrown in there, I honestly don't think the question is meant to be taken 100% literal. Yogis, magi, wise men men of many faiths and philosphies have found pathways to tranquilitiy and can be largely unaffected, but they still experience the emotional spectrum even if to signifigantly less extremes than most. I think that's about as close as you can get to the threads premise without being retarded in either direction.
Is this dissociation tho?

Do you think Jay Z, Jeff bezos, Michael Jordan or Dr Dre are "always happy"?
They never experience hard times, pain or suffering?
Happiness is not science nor is it math.
The whole concept of that word is a mixture of very distinct feelings, such as joy, tranquility, pleasure, contentment, bliss and more. This makes it more so that permanent happiness is a juggling of all those feelings and knowing when to rely on which to preserve your "happiness".
But even the above doesn't delve deep into what happiness truly is, often happiness is a subversion of opposite emotions into the ones mentioned above. Like turning to contentment when you're powerless to change a situation, or relying on pleasure when you feel pain, or turning to bliss/tranquility when you're not able to physically move due to outside circumstances.
So it's not a matter of numbers, but rather knowing exactly when to rely on which aspect of happiness to remain...well, happy.
Edit: In this sense, every opposite emotion to happiness becomes a necessity because if you don't have those then you can't subvert shyt into happiness. So there is a very strong element of happiness coming specifically from sorrow, turbulence, pain, dissatisfaction, agony/anguish and more.
That's what I think the breh @SunZoo means when he talks about perspective.
