Did you know that an ytterbium crystal does not simply exist in our silly three-dimensional world, but in a fourth dimension as well? Of course you didnt, you silly human.

Never heard of this until today, but it is interesting. Is there any practical application for this?
Carter Thompson
Its is non-equilibrium matter. It represents an entire new class of materials.
Henry Barnes
Here is the phase diagram.
Ayden Brooks
It really depends if this is repeatable and not just misreading of results and such.
If it is real, then what happens if you add energy to it? Well, there's a shit load of questions that need answering before anyone would really know what this could be used for ultimately. Just tossing out "might be good for quantum computing!" is premature.
Julian Morris
The experiement was first performed at UC Berkley, and it was then succesfully repeated at MIT. Thats only two tests, but the two positive results are promising indicators that this is a legitimate result.
Jacob Anderson
Will this let us time travel through time?
Carter Peterson
>tfw i have to align the ytterbium crystal matrix in my warp core
Leo Richardson
No. I'm betting it doesn't let us do anything.
Caleb Long
Humanity defies the conservation of energy and creates a crystal that will out last the heat death of the universe.
>probably nothing.
Anthony Miller
Why? You did not explain your response in any way.
Thomas Cooper
which dimension are we calling time?
Aiden Rodriguez
The imaginary one
Nolan Wood
Can someone give me a quick rundown?
Hudson Morales
Ohh cool, like star warz
Colton Garcia
ayylmaos are jelly af about this tech
Thomas Rivera
Can it make bigger bombs?
Legit question. If it can't it's useless.
Sebastian Taylor
>perpetual motion vibrators
Blake Harris
Bout time.
Eli Anderson
how can it vibrate without using any energy? Doesn't that violate some law of physics or something?
Eli Barnes
Also how do you even go about placing 10 single ions accurately in a certain pattern and then hitting them with a laser? The scale of that shit baffles me, what sort of instruments enable them to manipulate single atoms and keep them in place?
Cooper Brooks
There is an unknown mechanic at play as to why. Like a underwater sauna jet ripples the water at the surface, we are seeing the rippling but have no clue what the source is.
Leo Martin
It doesn't violate anything as long as you can't extract infinite WORK from the system. Something can be in perpetual motion but starts deteriorating if you interact with it(orbit), or something can just be in motion in a way that no work can be extracted from it(vacuum fluctuation).
Connor Ortiz
perpetuum mobile will happen within our lifetimes
shut up ass hole
Michael Kelly
Isn't this a demonstration of zero point energy?
Nolan Harris

Yes it is related.
Henry Parker
Molecular perpetual motion machine?
Jason Carter
>add magnets to it
>extract energy
Brandon Brooks
>start using this to extract energy from the 4th dimension
>unknowingly cause an instability that is noticed by 4th dimensional higher beings
>they become upset at us recklessly using this technology and destroying their extra dimensional habitat
>use their super advanced weaponry to vaporize all of humanity

What is reading comprehension
Tyler Walker
I hope they come up with a better name. "Time crystals" sound like a low-budget sci-fi film plot element.
Evan Nelson
have you read the gods themselves?
