      Well the realy cool things such as time travel and light sabers are physically impossible. So I could hope that physics eventually allows for this.
      But if I am to think of what is known about now and I just have unlimited time and money. I would want to see humanity on another planet. We achieved the moon then went home, we need to do this again but stay there.

      A perpetual motion machine!

      Scientists think it’s impossible to build a machine that keeps on going using itself as an energy supply. But with unlimited time and money I’m sure I could figure it out!

      Hi Anya

      Well, we’ve still got to obey the laws of physics even with infinite time and money, so I’m not convinced Hugh’s perpetual motion machine will work!

      I would invest the time and money on making a viable nuclear fusion power plant like the one they are trying to build in France. (look up the ITER project, it’s very interesting!) Fusion power has been the next big project for the last 50 years and it would be amazing to finally see it work!
