Perpetual would be akin to infinite motion, which would relate to the universe have an infinite characteristic, which would mean energy is infinite, and since energy is always in motion, it could be called perpetually in motion.

Perpetual motion is possible in an ideal world, like an imaginary universe with only one object in it, cruising along contentedly forever.

But we live in the real world where experience has shown that there is always some mechanism to sap energy out of a system and eventually bring it to rest. The only way to keep something going is to add that energy back in some way. But people who want perpetual motion say that's cheating.

Perpetual motion. Like Newton's Law. You know the one: any object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by some force.
Well, is there somewhere you could put something so that it would not have SOME sort of force act upon it? No.
So, the answer to perpetual motion is also no.

Well that's a bit of a tough question to answer. The problem with the idea of doing something contrary to physical laws is that everything we have ever seen and know of have obeyed the laws of physics so it's a bit hard to say that it is still possible. Of course, im assuming you mean perpetual motion that can be used to generate work.

it really is a very interesting concept besides the undeniable fact that the in uncomplicated phrases difficulty with it really is that the magnets would all attempt to entice or repel one yet another both. that's to assert that magnet a million would exert a rigidity on magnet 2, and concurrently magnet 2 would exert a rigidity on magnet a million with equivalent importance in the option route. all the rigidity would regrettably be handed onto the rig as a torque on the fingers preserving them in position and would for this reason no longer produce any action. i wish this answer helped
