Perfect energy efficiency may be one step closer due to new research by physicists.

Jordan and his team investigated how it might be possible to extract work from a system using entanglement as a fuel. In entanglement - one of the basic of concepts of quantum physics - the properties of one particle are interlinked with properties of another, even when the particles are separated by a large distance. Using entanglement as a fuel has the possibly revolutionary feature of creating a non-local engine; half of an engine could be in New York, while the other half could be in California. The energy would not be held by either half of the system, yet the two parts could still share energy to fuel both halves proficiently.

"We will show that the engine can, in principle, be perfectly efficient," Jordan says. "That is, there would be an ideal transfer of energy from the measurement apparatus to the quantum system." (1)

An ever moving cosmos.

Humans travelling to the edge of the world.

Bees buzzing. Lions slowly wandering.

Stars running fast in the vast void of space.

Tell me.

Do you still see the waves in the shore?

You sat lying before them.

Dreaming.

Lying still before them.

You saw the whole sea.

Without seeing.

Stars. Lions. Bees. You. Me.

Tell me.

Do you still see the waves in the shore?

Why did you start moving?

Do you remember seeing something that does not move?
