I really got confused when we began to talk about the water wheel. I'm not sure I quite understood how the water wheel is an example of an improbable assembly if a bucket is attached. What makes the water wheel less improbable when it is stationary than when it is moving? Something else that also surprised me was energy not being created. I could have sworn that I somewhere in my high school years I heard those words. But then I guess is does make sense that it is just a transformation from one state fo energy to another.
