Uh, that's "physicist", not "physician". Yes. I was wrong. You are right. I wrote "physician", although I meant "physicist". Did that feel good, Laz? :-) There are patent applications which the USPO will not consider. A claim to have invented a perpetual motion machine from which limitless energy can be extracted is one of these. I am fairly sure that USPO would consider a patent application even for a perpetual motion machine if its "inventor" shows up at their door one day and demonstrates a working sample. Odds are gravely against it, given what we know about the nature of the universe, but if someone does invent such a machine, nobody would be able to suppress it, especially USPO.
