Time crystals are a thing, they’re just not that thing.
I have never felt dumber than while reading that article and condensed matter physics, whatever tf that is
Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it’s just the physics of matter that isn’t liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.
But also any crystal used in a clock is a time crystal.
Every scifi movie. Ever.
In Czech, they used to be called “křemenné hodiny”, which has the same ring to it. If you told someone these words today, they would imagine a clock meticulously carved out of a quartz block.
