For those of you who dont know what Perpetual Motion is ( italics are taken from wikipedia)
As defined: Perpetual motion refers to a condition in which an object moves forever without being driven by an external source of energy
The reason why science prooves that Perpetual motion is impossible, is because it breaks two laws of physics.
First law of thermodynamics: The increase in the internal energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the amount of heat energy added to the system minus the work done by the system on the surroundings.
and
Second law of thermodynamics: The entropy of an isolated system not at equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value. or in laymans terms Heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body.
However, science is always breaking new barriers and challenging previously unchallalangable laws...such as the earth being round, Theory of Evolution, Space travel..
Do you or dont you believe that Perpetual Motion is possible? |

Science has
not proved that perpetual motion is impossible. It has only confirmed by experiment and experience the possibility that it is impossible. All it takes is one event to disconfirm that conclusion. Those of us in the New Energy aggregate suspect there have been several events over the decades which indicated that Perpetual Motion of the Second Kind, tapping an unknown source of constantly renewing energy, has occurred: viz., the Earth's Magnetic Field, cosmic radiation from the stars, charges in the ionisphere constantly replenished by the Sun, and hardest to believe, tapping the energy from the Quantum Vacuum per Wheeler, Dirac, Heaviside, Plancvk, Forward, Prigogine etc.
I believe that Perpetual Motion of the FIRST Kind, creating energy from nothing at all, is something only God can do.
