Can anybody tell me if Perpetual Motion has ever been achieved? I know under the laws of physics it is impossible BUT I see this law more as a challenge and if proved wrong would be the most amazing discovery in our history.

I have a few ideas on this (no surprise!!) and I dont want to waste time if someone has achieved it. I know an Irish company claim to have!!! But has it ever unofficially been achieved?

During a lecture at the American Museum of Natural History in 1981, prominent evolutionist Dr. Colin Patterson asked his esteemed audience of evolutionists this surprising question. Can you answer it? The only answer he got from the experts was silence. Patterson also tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all he got there was silence again - for a long time - eventually one honest person said, "I do know one thing--it ought not to be taught in high school."

Cited in: Phillip Johnson, Darwin on Trial (Downers Grove, Illinois: InterVarsity Press, 1991), p. 10. Johnson says in the research notes of his book that Patterson's lecture was not published, but he had reviewed a transcript of it (p. 173). Furthermore, Patterson again stated the same position in an interview with journalist Tom Bethell (Bethell, "Deducing from Materialism," National Review, Aug. 29, 1986, p. 43).

a ordinary golf ball ,dropped exactly at the same time from a height of say 50ft ,will both reach the ground together,even though one is far heavier and bigger than the other~ok

my Q is- if 2 bouyant objects one far larger than the other
were taken down say 100ft under the sea or lake etc,and released both exactly at the same time,would they both travel
at the same speed upwards together or would weight and size of each object,have an effect on their individual ascending speed

Hypothetically speaking, let's say in the year 2099 someone travels back in time to ancient Egypt around 2500 B.C. and accidentally leaves behind a unique item that was created in the year 2099. Years later, in 2010, archaeologists discover the item at some ancient ruins site and perform carbon dating on the odd object. What would the carbon dating tell the researchers about the item?

the carbon dioxide is absorbed suction fans with a specific rpm based on the density and weight of carbon dioxide .the carbon dioxide is converted to carbon monoxide.then it is reacted with hydrogen to form water and pure carbon .the carbon obtained can be recycled to react with cardon dioxide obtained . the water obtained can be electrolysed to give hydrogen.once the process starts ,no raw materials from outside is required .the plant will be powered by either hydel power or wave energy or solar energy or nuclear energy .it will be located near the sea or ocean which also has a capacity to absorb carbon dioxide and will be surrounded by c4 plants

This is what I found on the Internet:
"Google Earth is not a GIS application and hence it doesn't provide geoprocessing functionality"

What do they mean by "geoprocessing functionality"? The ability to do what exactly?

Does its chemical formula means that it is a solid solution like Olivine? Apophyllite has (F,OH) as part of its formula which I aasume F can predominate over OH and vice versa. But I am unclear if that means a solid solution becauase its full formula isKCA4SI8O20(F,OH).8H2O
Any help would be appreciated.
