Scientist Investigate A Brand New Form of Matter: Time Crystals (sciencealert.com)
The discovery of "non-equilibrium matter" could re-write the rules of physics. Long-time Slashdot reader jasonbrown quotes ScienceAlert: For months now, there's been speculation that researchers might have finally created time crystals — strange crystals that have an atomic structure that repeats not just in space, but in time, putting them in perpetual motion without energy. Now it's official — researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre crystals. And two independent teams of scientists claim they've actually created time crystals in the lab based off this blueprint, confirming the existence of an entirely new form of matter.
Both teams -- one at Harvard and the other at the University of Maryland -- have submitted their findings to peer-reviewed publications, according to the article, and "the fact that two separate teams have used the same blueprint to make time crystals out of vastly different systems is promising."

Just one more tip from your Uncle Larry.
Will it be possible to use these time crystals to go back in time to prevent Donald Trump's mother from mating with an orange orangutan?
If not, nothing to see here...move along!
Ahh, yes.
Here we see the smug arrogance of a "progressive" intent on trying to denigrate someone who doesn't agree with him, while he congratulates himself on his "tolerance".
Fun things to sat that make a "progressive" head explode:
1. George W Bush was more popular over the course of his Presidency than Barack Obama. Obama, in fact, only beats Nixon and Ford in recent-President popularity.
2. "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan".
3. "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"
and, of course
4. PRESIDENT TRUMP
