Based on not being able to prove a negative.
You can't bend, fabricate, or in any other way bastardize the laws of the universe based on rather simplistic word games.

You are relying too much on the definition of what thermodynamics says cannot be done.
Right. I have a tendency to side with sound science.

Quote:
You do not have to achieve 100% efficiency to have a machine that could possibly outlive our entire human race.
You're conflating two unrelated ideas. Are we talking about a perpetual motion machine or a machine that can outlive the human race? They are not the same.

Quote:
This hypothetical machine would also not have to be friction-free given that more energy is created than being put in.
This is impossible.

Quote:
It would only need to create enough efficiency to create more energy than is put in, not to become 100% effective and efficient.
You're asking it to be more than 100% efficient. You can't create energy. Again, this is impossible.
