Scientists have recently succeeded in creating a mysterious state of matter known as a time crystal. This exotic state of matter seems to suspend the laws of thermodynamics indefinitely.

Quote (source)

The time crystal is essentially a collection of atoms or ions that are far apart but still interacting with each other. This form of matter keeps "ticking" indefinitely at a certain frequency, without heating up or creating entropy, the natural state of disorder that always increases in the universe.

A FIFTH FUCKING STATE OF MATTER.

GTFO. :blink:

Time Crystal.... I hope it doesn't become the Dark Crystal and we have a bunch of Skeksis to deal with...

Read it a few days ago. It's pretty amazing how it went from a theory to being proven so quickly

I bet this means there is another force.

Gas, liquid, solid, plasma, time crystal.

Gravity, sn, wn, em, ??

my interpretation of it is if you get enough together and are able to confine them in a large enough space you could possible create another dimension. a place where time has no meaning
