Summary
Perpetual motion is the hypothetical notion of bodies which continue forever in an unperturbed system. This is impossible, and patent offices will reject applications for ‘perpetual motion machines’ off-hand, as entropy will always sap away the energy in a system over time.
Entropy is inevitable. The end of all things comes for everyone, eventually. Even singularities, concentrated points of infinite gravity, will fade away from thermal radiation.
The only thing we can do is work, adding energy and pushing forward, to keep ourselves moving in the face of unavoidable endings.
