Never would have guessed chaos control would become a real thing.

So If get inside my fridge, I can use it as a time machine?

It needs to by a little colder than that. Next to zero degrees Kelvin.

There is something called spin spin interaction. It's small, but when you're that cold, it gets more significant for particles and that's what utimately makes the time crystal possible.

Also, unfortunately, it's not a means to control time. It just makes time distribution a bit more strange. We see time as a continuous variable through life, but it behaves like a discrete variable in the Crystal. That means it got a different distribution than usual in there and you can go from somewhere where time is faster or slower depending on the state.

A hyperbolic time chamber then

Meh, Sonic had this shit nailed down back in the 90's.

Spoiler

Technically they were time stones.

PentaGod 2: Crystal Boogaloo?

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

So, we've finally made RPG save crystals real? What's the ETA for when i can save my data before a boss battle IRL?

 

[Nostremitus]

Joking aside...

They made prototype control crystals?

 

[nkarafo]

Crystal computers you say?

 

[Messofanego]

Awesome news.

 

[More_Badass]

Can someone explain this and its possible applications to me like I'm a child?

 

[HiiiLife]

Time Crystal located...

Miss this game so much.

Lets see if I can get this right. Scientist think they have produced a structure that moves not because there is energy put into the system but because the structure oscillates in time.
At a zero energy state where the structure should remain static. It moves because the individual atoms are oscillating in time. That's quite bonkers really.

I still don't get why it forces the ions to oscillate in time when they force it to break symmetry.

 

[SgtCobra]

Okay this one got me good. Move aside Obemmer.

 

[Mindwipe]

Are the oscillations random? As they aren't dependent on any application of prior force, surely they would be unpredictable?

In other words is this a perfect random number generator?

(I say because my brain hurts.)

 

[Mohonky]

Yeah I'm gonna wait for the PBS Space Time explanation

Fucking awesome channel that one.

 

[hateradio]

LMAO, that's actually the first time I've seen that. When I heard him say chaos control, I spit out my lemonade.

I wish it was a whole series.

 

[Abstrusity]

Reading up on this just further reinforces the fact that economics was for me.

Even simplistic ...simplifications are over my head, damn.

Shit, don't know if we can handle another timeline split. It's a galactic crime to fuck with time

There's at least 7 timelines now, thanks to all that fuckery.
