THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 03/50 )

No scientific challenge remains greater, most prestigious, more mythical, than that of finding the key to perpetual motion.

Thank you.

Yet some affirm that this quest is doomed to failure.

Such a machine defies the laws of the universe.

The very basis of thermodynamics assumes that all mechanism will eventually come to stop.

Well, it is you.

Yeah. Given the current state of Science and Technology, isn't the quest for perpetual motion better suited for idealists and poets than real scientists?

What if imagination start it and science end it?

Those who push the boundaries of science,what they not all poets?

I'm certain that as we speak here today, that somewhere in this country, a budding Leonardo Da Vinci is gaining up for the challenge.

Thank you very much.

Oh God ...

Hello.

Sir, I am the Leonardo from Montana.

Oh yeah? What you are going to do?

I accept the challenge.

You do?
