Science tells us that it is impossible, however people have always been curious about the possibility of making a perpetual motion device.
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..
