Physicists have observed motions that have been going on for a very long time. Perhaps from the human perspective these motions could be thought of as perpetual because if they ever stop we're in big trouble.
Astrophysicists have measured an expanding universe and attempt to explain its acceleration. The question is "what is the cause of the acceleration?" So far there is no proof supporting the answers. This acceleration is beyond natural explanation. The cause is supernatural, so far. We just don't know. One answer is found in "dark matter". If it could ever be proved we'd next have to explain the cause of "dark matter". The quest to understand reality should last a long time especially at the rate we're moving.
At the quantum level physicists have noticed the slight mass of electrons furiously spinning most likely for as long as mass has existed. I would suppose so.
So here we are stuck between the boundaries of these infinite and the infinitesimal perpetual motions attempting to model that same motion using gravity to power it. It could be said this attempt is an effort to model the infinite and put it in our laps. We're trying to make the infinite our lap dog. Maybe our laps aren't big enough.
