The laws of thermodynamics state that the perpetual motion machine is impossible.... but a slinky is next best thing!!
That and my Siames cat.
I like 'slinky' for some reason. It...intrigues me.
Perpetual motion machine impossible?
I assert that we're surrounded by them, but haven't uncovered their secret. We know tham by names like electron and proton. These continually exhibit a monopolar charge without evidence of any work to maintain it, nor evidence of any equal and opposing charge.
Now, I might further assert that perpetual motion is, truly, not possible, hence the atomic particles do not violate the Laws of Thermodynamics, and the source of their exhibited monopolar charges is simply an as-yet undiscovered aspect of our physics, though its nature has been hypothesized.
