Hello Davis Landstrom,
Those are some pretty good answers and I will not debate them since I no nothing about thermodynamics or physics.
I noticed you also mentioned that you do not believe that the existence of a perpetual motion machine violates these laws, which may be just the case as well. I haven't heard someone skilled in the field say that before and I like it. :)
I am not sure what the answer is but my point was for Mr. Redick to go after anything he believes in and not to try to debate the laws I no nothing about.
With that in mind, I still believe Mr. Redick should follow his dreams. There have been mistakes in the past.
For instance here's some famous quotes:
"... we shall hear very little more of Thomas Edison or his electric lamp. Every claim he makes has been tested and proved impracticable." New York Times, 1880
"Everything that can be invented has been invented." US Commissioner of Patents, 1899.
"Nothing heavier than air could ever fly" The man that wrote the law of thermodynamics skeptics believe in.
Final Thoughts:
Since I believe in God, until God says it is impossible, I will always believe the creator can give us anything we believe in. (Including ourselves)
No matter what anyone believes in, you should certainly believe in yourself and always go after your dreams.
Maybe someday we can find something that is an alternative form of energy that can help all mankind of our beautiful world. If you agree with this statement, then we are both on the same team.... ;)
Thanks for your answer Mr. Landstrom,
Have a wonderful day,
RW
