Are time crystals real?

Ғылым және технология

The idea of time crystals burst across the media, with ludicrous hopes of time travel and ridiculous rumors of time portals at big international labs around the world. The reality of time crystals is a fascinating scientific advance, but doesn’t rise to the level of the hype. Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the truth.

    Great explanation. TY Time crystals occur when a bunch of atoms repeat their configuration over & over again 1) Get a string of atoms arranged like a pearl necklace 2) Each atom has a spin 3) At low temperature, the spins line up with each other because it's the lowest energy way of arranging themselves 4) Hit them with a laser & the lasers oscillations will cause their spin to flip rythmically with the laser 5) If you turn off the laser the spins continue to flip Weirdly if use a more complicated laser to irradiate the atoms with a random electric field, the atoms continue to oscillate the way they did when the 1st laser hit them

    It immediately made me think of Asimov's thiotimoline (1948): The major peculiarity of the chemical is its "endochronicity": it starts dissolving before it makes contact with water. In this sf story this crystal is the basis for a time machine: when the crystal starts to dissolve, take away the water. Instead of retroactively undoing the dissolving, the crystal moves in time reaching out for the water.

    NASA, the agency in Washington D.C., has made some creative videos in the past, even running series. They are in a bit of a lull nowadays. Some of the regional centers like Goddard and Ames have some loosely structured ways of presenting. Kennedy lets their interns run wild for a minute or two, occasionally. A lot of it has to do with the people who want to make the videos making videos that fit their own personal style. But at least they don't sacrifice truth and scientific rigor for entertainment value. We don't want our science agencies to go Discovery Channel on us.

    For some reason I had missed this stuff about "time travel" and "time portals" but I knew of the time crystals themselves, which are not quite magical. They are oscillating by themselves in kind of a ground state. Since they appear to have a stable frequency, they could perhaps be used as an alternative to quartz crystals energized by electricity when driving small real time clocks, but the magic I know nothing about, ask some Wiccan about magic!

    A time crystal spread across a highly energized collider/collater resonance chamber is the key to antigravity. Since each station used for stabilizing and thus pulsing the recurrent beam/resonance array represents a chrono-topological super or "extra" symmetry point or crystalline conjoinment of sub-particles that exist and are vibrating faster than the speed of light as 0-POINT(s); inter-entangled to one another.

A question at such a conference was If Feynman Diagrams are real therefore a nuclear blast is a time machine and of course anyone who tried to achieve time travel via such a method would be labeled "Dangerous" and thrown in a padded cell of a psych ward? "Science of Science Fiction" by Peter NIcholls has excellent commentary on how a lot of physics research is taken out of context. Will you cover neutron flux upon aperiodic quasicrystals next?
