The kinetic theory of gases makes several assumptions. One of them is that collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that no kinetic energy is lost during the collision. If no kinetic energy is lost, and there are no other forces acting to stop the molecules, then the molecules will continue their motion indefinitely.
