Physics Hates This One Simple Trick
Free energy enthusiasts be like: "Physics laws are just suggestions!" This meme features M.C. Escher's famous "Waterfall" lithograph where water flows in an impossible perpetual motion loop. The three-step plan hilariously oversimplifies breaking the first law of thermodynamics - you know, that pesky rule saying energy can't be created from nothing. If only solving our energy crisis was as easy as building an optical illusion! Unfortunately, perpetual motion machines remain firmly in the "nice try, but physics says no" category. Even Escher knew he was drawing an impossibility - that's what makes it art instead of an engineering blueprint!

Perpetual Motion: Just Add Impossible Architecture
The ultimate dream of every physicist who's failed thermodynamics! This M.C. Escher-inspired "perpetual motion machine" is basically what happens when you skip physics class to play Minecraft. Sure, just build an impossible waterfall that violates the laws of physics, hook it up to a turbine, and boom—infinite energy! The first law of thermodynamics is crying in the corner right now. Energy companies hate this one weird trick! Next up: using unicorn farts to power your car and harvesting electricity from your cat's eternal judgment of your life choices.
