THE INFERNAL LOOP ~
Does
the perpetual motion exist? A scientist, a little insane, the professor
Badkopf will try to show this reality, with this intention he invented
a judicious explosive device to create this movement.
We
are in the laboratory of experimentation of professor Heinrich Badkopf.
He is held upright, admiring in front of his invention. At the end of
twenty five years of baited research, doubts, frustrating failures,
of vexations and humiliations as many as wounding for his own love,
this time he is persuaded of this: he knows with deepest of itself than
his strange machine finally bored the secrecy of the perpetual motion
!
The machine is of a rare complexity, even monstrous.
However professor Badkopf hesitates to indeed put it in action, because
if calculations make it sure of the result, it exists a significant
barrier between the theory and the practice, barrier which proves to
be true and abominable traitress; he remembers the experiment carried
out by Eddy Murphy:
In year 1949, an American engineer, the captain Edouard A. Murphy, worked
for the US Air Force on project MX 981 and was to study the effects
of deceleration on human at the time of a crash landing. For this experiment
he was to lay out sixteen sensors on the body of a pilot. This mission
was entrusted to a technician, knowing that each sensor could be applied
according to two positions: the good one and the bad one.
The technician placed the sixteen sensors in the bad position (of course).
Following what Murphy emitted the sentence: “If anything can go wrong
it will”
This law of pessimism, also called law of maximum emmerdement or law
of the slice of bread and butter (because it falls always on the face
buttered), became so popular which emerged many law of Murphy, in the
form of popular sayings.
Here are some one:
- If all seems well to go, you inevitably neglected something.
- Each solution brings new problems.
- The theory it is when it does not go but we know why, the practice
it is when it goes but we do not know why, and when the theory joined
the practice it does not go and we do not know why…
It is thus with a certain apprehension that he decides to activate the
lever, draws the small peg and the wooden door-latch fall, releasing
a first beam which starts gears, wheels and other bearings. All the
system then get going for, in theory, never stopping.
At the end of a few minutes of anxiety, he enjoy finally her victory:
“It goes! The movements did not lose an ounce of intensity. The perpetual
motion exists, I met it! ”
He leap of joy, get dressed in haste, leaves its modest laboratory and
run to make a statement with the Academy of Science.
He leap of joy, get dressed in haste, leaves its modest laboratory and
run to make a statement with the Academy of Science.

And so… And so… And so…
