“I like people with imagination but the following Patent Application seems to suggest some people have just too much imagination for their own good. Patent Application No. CA 2 572 538 describes perpetual motors which can apparently be used to make a starship propulsion system and laser guns for shooting at inter-continental nuclear missiles and I quote: “These Perpetual Motors are Environment Friendly (They run with Magnetism) … will give us the clean air that all the People and Governments of the World are after … will Excel the Industrial World and make a Super Race, and a better World to live in.” The starship can be powered using the perpetual motors which serve a warp drive core and is controlled from, and I quote again: “the Bridge Deck of the Star Ship of the U.S. Delorian ... The Star Ship will look somewhat like the Star Ship Enterprise on the TV Series of Star Trek.” Well, as Scotty from the aforementioned TV show said “Ye cannae change the laws of physics”.”
