Given how much bullshit we are sold by "science" about things which are verifiable, how can you believe anything you have been told about the phisics of things you can't ever test?
I'm always interested in theories, but I can't stand people who believe they know because they read it in a book. It's all speculative, and it's also a bluffing game. The cutting edge of knowledge is always concealed by lies because it is an arms race first and foremost. Everything that is released for public consumption is released to the world. It is in the interest of every researcher to misdirect every other reseaecher in the world and hopefully send them on a wild goose chase.
Therfore string theory.
Therfore zero point energy.
Therfore quantum computers.
Therfore graphine.
With that said I think the fact super conductors exist means that perpetual motion exists. But you can't extract extra energy from it, which is the implication in what is colloquially called a perpetual motion machine. Without that implication everything is capable of perpetual motion according to neutonian physics because objects in motion stay in motion.
The analogous construct in quantum physics to the perpetual motion machine is really zero point energy. It is the extraction of energy from a system that magically replenishes that energy. I don't think that is possible.

Exactly. Even the "heat death" of the universe often mentioned is perpetual motion (heat), not absolute zero.
I skimmed the transcript and apparently these crystals transform back and forth between states, apparently not losing energy. So no "friction". It's not a perpetual motion energy machine, just s dumb buzzwordy description. They describe some other states after that e.g. things staying at one half rather than spreading to the whole space as you might expect. I think the states are interesting to a quantum physicist but of a fairly technical, specialized nature.
You're not wrong, but the dividing line is frequently (not always) theoretical science (which you declare) verses experimental. That said, 50% (> 80% for China) of research papers are fraud.
Almost everything asserted for space outside of our solar system, and including our sun, is strictly theoretical and almost entirely lacking evidence to substantiate the theories. Yet it's commonly taught as fact. For example, we have experimental data 100% confirming the theory of how the sun works is completely wrong. Yet they still teach confirmed lies. Likewise, reasonably strong evidence black holes don't exist.
That said, there is a fair amount of evidence of what we call the quantum world and quantum interactions. Making it a bit removed from the theoretical world of science. We are definitely trying to better understand it. And, best of all, a lot of this research is reproducible.
