Now the crystals of time are real

It was thought to be something fantastic, it was believed to be a mathematical physical possibility, in the theoretical world of Mathematics and Physics but that they would not exist in the real world and yet they are real and the last fact is that every year It seems that more progress is being made on this issue.

Since a team from the Technical University of Dortmund in Germany has managed to produce a time crystal that has survived for 40 minutes, which is little, but if we compare it with what they have achieved previously, it means that it has survived millions of times longer than expected. which was achieved in previous experiments.

Time crystals were theorized in 2012 by theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, who proposed at that time a concept to describe a new state of matter that defied the laws of physics, time crystals or spacetime crystals, his colleagues They stated that it was impossible, that it was just a nice theoretical exercise, but that they were not real, however, that only a few years ago it was confirmed that they could exist in reality and that is something that for physicists is one of the things that head explodes.

In fact, they are not made of a special material, they can be crystals of any normal element and do not think that you can control time with them, although they have almost equally incredible properties, since they can be in perpetual motion without consuming any energy. , but let's start because they call it a crystal, in physics a crystal is defined as an object whose atoms are arranged in such a way that they create a pattern that is repeated in space, we see it in diamonds or quartz, a lot of crystals, a crystal of salt for example; In a salt crystal its particles create repeating patterns.

What happens if the crystal pattern not only repeats itself every certain distance in space, but every certain time, then we would have a set of particles ordered not in space but in time and that is a time crystal, while a crystal Normally the particles are at rest within the structure, in a time crystal the particles are constantly moving to form the structure over time.

Time crystals do not violate the laws of thermodynamics because energy throughout the system is conserved. Such a crystal does not spontaneously convert thermal energy into mechanical work and cannot serve as a perpetual reserve of work, but it can change perpetually by following a fixed pattern over time as long as the system can be maintained, this detail is important because at the moment we have not yet managed to create time crystals that last a long time, but to think that in a few years we have gone from believing that it was something fantastic to being something real .

Its usefulness when it is more permanent we may discover amazing potentials, because it seems that time crystals are closely related to concepts such as zero point energy and the quantum Casimir effect, zero point energy is not something from science fiction, it was proposed by Albert Einstein and Otto Star in 1913, in physics the zero point energy is the lowest that a quantum mechanical physical system has and the Casimir effect is an effect predicted by quantum field theory and is even more astonishing.

It turns out that it can even be measured when we have two metallic objects separated by a very very small distance. At that moment, an attractive force appears between them due to an effect associated with the quantum vacuum. It is not that they attract each other gravitationally, but rather it is the quantum vacuum that It is attracting and uniting them.

Time crystals seem to be related to these two very strange phenomena, perhaps they could be a clue to continue advancing in these topics and achieve things that we cannot imagine right now, but at the moment experts believe that time crystals could one day be used as quantum computer memory.
