There is an interesting point about perpetuum mobile idea (not wanting to advocate it).
Well-established physical laws are just like Terrence McKenna said it for thoughts:
“Thought can only go as far as the language that paves the road.” — we can only prove as much as we can understand.
‘Everything is a form of energy.’
‘Energy cannot be created from nothing nor can it be destroyed.’
‘There is no such thing as a free lunch.’
‘For every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.’
What you put in is what you get out. Nothing is lost. Well, lost it is, because we don’t see the whole picture.
Sorry for that burst of thoughts… ;) And thanks for sharing this great thought-provoking piece.
