Reverse Time with Time Crystal? The New Exotic Phase of Matter

Time crystal may remind you of the time stone in Doctor Strange or the time machine in Doctor Who. However, it is actually something that exists in the real world - the quantum world.

As the new exotic phase of matter, a time crystal seems to break the laws of physics as you may seemingly reverse time with time crystal. While it does break time translational symmetry, time crystal completely obeys the second law of thermodynamics - the one law that prevents us from "going back in time".

How does a time crystal work? What does it have to do with time? Can we reverse time with time crystal? Watch the video in full for a glimpse on the new exotic phase of matter.

Dang the quality of this video is off the roof!
made me wish if it was recognized by YouTube algorithm

Conan, what an interesting video. I watched it with great interest! Well done.

This channel is the best combination of science nerdness and cultural nerdness. I need to comment more often. I have these usually added to lists I play while completing tasks/projects. Sometimes I'm writing and then a vid ends and I lose my comment when the vid changes to the nest on the list. I'll try a bit harder to get the comments posted, to help the stupid algorithmic model -
