First of all, it does no good to suppose something that violates known
laws of physics. If an event violates the laws of physics, then it
won't happen, and that's not because something clever stopped it.

Likewise, there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine,
because that violates some laws of physics. This doesn't mean that
something clever has stepped in to keep a perpetual motion machine
from working.
