Wtf are “time crystals” you might ask? Well,
In short, they have the “potential” to increase the feasibility of quantum computing exponentially, even on a conservative scale.
Wtf cares? Well, unless living completely off the grid, this is something that could eventually benefit everyone, from how we use household items, conduct business, travel, take medicine, etc. On the fun end of things it could help make space travel more convenient than what most movies even depict, but probably not in our lifetimes.
I thought of putting this in the Tech thread, but considering how far reaching and revolutionary the effects could be, it’s currently a pretty eventful discovery.
Google may have achieved a scientific breakthrough: Time crystals
A team of physicists working with Google claim, in pre-print research, they've created actual time crystals inside a quantum computer. This could be huge!
