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.

Now that’s the weirdest thing about time crystals.! The fact that you could shoot a new laser pattern and it still follows the pattern of the past laser beam. Why does it do that?

This most be the best video explaining time crystals I've seen.
Fantastic explanation. You only forgot to mention the spins have to be entangled for this to work.
Love the science and humor in this episode!!! Great job everyone!!!!

Yeah, it was great, funny and amusing. Really enjoyed it :D
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

Ha, "... you think they bought it?" Brilliant, and also a brilliant explanation of time crystals.
*_[_**_03:33_**_] "in thermal equilibrium" (quantum, not just leaving the refrigerator door open for an hour)-But an important takeaway point is that the cold fusion experiments of the late-80-90's had lots of thermal ramping, unlike tokamaks which try to achieve equilibrium to keep their hot, fusion, process repeating itself..._*
But why do they keep changing their configuration even after the laser has been shut off??

Probably because a spin-wave remains in the chain bouncing Just as if a wave were bouncing in the ends of an ordinary string en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_wave
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.

It's been a long time since I read that story, but I don't recall the time travel bit. I'm not saying it's not there, I just don't remember it. Thanks, I now want to dig out all of my old Science Fiction books and magazines.
Loved the new production style and topic. They aren't afraid to get a little crazy now and then.

Ofc, as we explore but then it's still in it's infant stage. Lot of progress needs to be made just before they are actually useful to make logical machines at desktop levels.
Always explains any Physics topic in simpler words. Thanks Femilab and Dr Lincoln.
Didn't realize it was a Fermilab video until Master Lincoln showed up :D. Love the new style! (Tip: don't close the video before it ends.)
Wow! I guess we'd need a way to read the pattern without disturbing the energy of the system. This is amazing...
lol almost though I opened the wrong web link with that hilarious opening scene!
Check out the production value! Well done, love it 😊
It'd be very nice to (maybe one day) work with you Dr. Lincoln...
People have been talking about time crystals? This is why I don't watch football. Every time they huddle, I know they're leaving me out of the conversation. I'm getting real tired of this treatment.
getting better each episode
I always loved dr.don
Imagine this being someone’s first Fermilab video, and s/he sees that intro
"master, sorry...i mean professor Frank Wilczek" lmao! Classical blunders from Don Lincoln who loves roasting people!
This was so good, we love ya Doc !

They could theoretically be used to hold a place in time for later redistribution, like backing up your hard drive
Great explanation 👍
OH. MY. GOD. I LOVE THIS. Keep it 100 with the creativity Doc, you're doing great!
👍 Thanks for this fun and honest explanation :)
Why doesn't the other laser disrupt the pattern created by the first laser? How does the time crystal "know" that there is a pattern in the first laser to begin with? Great video though.
That was hilarious! But seriously, it seems like the time crystal you described is likely to have use as part of a quantum difference engine or similar calculation technique. The earliest use could be some form of checksum routine.
Very Informative
Yes! So glad you did a time crystal video!
It would be good if could provide links to the papers cited in your talks
Best explanation yet, thank you
Crazy intro! Feels like watching a huge channel! Wait, this is a huge channel! :)
I like this kind of style so much.
A.most interesting topic. Thank you much for posting this video.
Best easiest understandable explanation after watching 5 channels... Thank u
This is too much :'3 These guys are very creative when making videos Good luck
Dr. Lincoln, can you make a video on Synchrotron Radiation? I have done some research about them a few years ago, but like to learn more about their technology, and potential applications. Thanks.
That intro was dope
That was a wild adventure!
When the laser is turned off what makes the particles’ spin change direction? When the laser is on do the particles store energy that allows them to change the spin direction? If so, how many changes occur?
Thanks for the information sir
Once again, a great video.
These videos are great, I'm cuious how they are funded and why doesn't NASA do something like this.

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.
wait wait wait, is there no explanation as to how they keep memory of laser pattern?
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!
That T-shirt really rings true to me. I never got into the Doctor until the reboot in 2005 and Christopher Eccleston is still my favorite Doctor.
Dr. Lincoln, at some point could you explain what spin actually is? I've heard it's both as simple as the way quantum particles spin and that they don't really spin, but we just sorta call it that for ease of communication. Which is it? Thanks.
Thank you Dr Lincoln

Pretty sure he runs around all day like that in the tunnels of Fermilab if noone is looking and he doesn't have to collapse into normal form.
Any ideas about what the underlying fields are doing? Seems like a standing wave.
You've missed your way, Don. I can see you in a LOTR movie. "THEY SHALL NOT PASS (UNLESS THEY PERFORM WELL IN THEIR EXAMS)!!!"
Your shirt is the best!!!
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.

This is still ridiculously hyped. A rotating thing in space is a time crystal, a molecular one is just a resonator - which is why every experiment ever done with them has involved pumping them with energy to keep them running. Quantum memory would be a better name.
Sorry to hear about Leon Lederman................................................
Is that the voice of Dr Hossenfelder at the end?
It reminds me of a time when I attended a by invite only engineering conference held at MIT"S Electrical Engineering Dept. on Vassar Street of Cambridge, MA. when someone gave presentation on Feynman Diagrams where Feynman theorized how gamma rays could deflect matter to go back in time observed as antimatter of matter antimatter collisions. 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?
What happens when the lasers frequency has 2 "harmonics"? Like a red and blue laser are combined to make a purple looking beam that contains those 2 narrow frequencies of light.
No basis to believe Fermilab has a time machine. Riiiiiight. Got it. Absolutely believe you. Master.
I am satisfied with your explanation.
Master Lincoln, from now on. 🙇
