OT Scientists have confirmed a brand new form of matter: time crystals (Perpetual motion w/o energy)

[SlyPokerDog]

For months now, there's been speculation that researchers might have finally created time crystals - strange crystals that have an atomic structure that repeats not just in space, but in time, putting them in perpetual motion without energy.

Now it's official - researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre crystals. And two independent teams of scientists claim they've actually created time crystals in the lab based off this blueprint, confirming the existence of an entirely new form of matter.

The discovery might sound pretty abstract, but it heralds in a whole new era in physics - for decades we've been studying matter that's defined as being 'in equilibrium', such as metals and insulators.

But it's been predicted that there are many more strange types of matter out there in the Universe that aren't in equilibrium that we haven't even begun to look into, including time crystals. And now we know they're real.

The fact that we now have the first example of non-equilibrium matter could lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of the world around us, as well as new technology such as quantum computing.

Is this the first step to making TARDISes?

This is pretty exciting. I don't even know where to start in terms of speculating what this could lead to.

I'm curious what this has to do with "Time", and why they called it "Time Crystals". Could this be some sort of explanation or parallel for time? Some sort of repetitive movement, fueled without energy?

Hold it. We are checking Area 51 for a legitimate confirmation.

fuck, scientists are gonna break the matrix

The only hint they report of a practical application of this discovery is with the next generation of computers using quantum memory. The next hundred years should be very interesting.

Another area there has had a recent scientific breakthrough is the development of quantum radar. Several countries are working on this, and have very limited short range working models. They have proven the technology works, but the limits and its capabilities are unknown.

When fully developed, quantum radar could make stealth aircraft obsolete. Possibly even missiles. There are also other practical applications for quantum radar such as in medical procedures.

This is just one report. China also has a working model. The USA is working on it, but their progress is secret.

Meth can come in a pill form.

I just bought a heisenberg fedora. I recently had to get glasses and realized my frames were almost exactly like his so i completed the look.
