Maybe explain like I’m 1 years old… Just read an article on a team of researchers who recently created a video of a Space-Time crystal. Pls can someone explain in the most basic way possible what a time crystal is? I’ve read previous posts on this and I still don’t understand :(

From my understanding this is basically a metronome.

It’s a crystal that moves on the atomic level in a patterns at regular intervals.

So this could be used to measure time extremely accurately.

A lot of times you see that a watch has quartz in it and that is because quartz is a crystal that is used for measuring time.
