Reply to comment by bigtallsob in AMD Now Powers 101 of the World's Fastest Supercomputers by Avieshek

True, a perpetual motion machine is impossible according to the laws of physics. But time crystals are not a machine, it's an entirely new kind of exotic matter on par with supersolids, superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates!

Yeah, but you are dealing with quantum funkiness. There's always a catch, like with quantum entanglement, and how despite one's state affecting the other regardless of distance, you can't use it for faster than light communication, since the act of observing the state changes the state.

Yeah, like I mentioned in my first comment I don't really know anything so you may be right too. 😉

But I don't know, there's a lot of cool discoveries being done right now anyway. I did read up on quantum entanglement too because of this years Nobel prize winner in physics who used it to prove that the universe is not "real". How crazy is that?
