Bullshit. Whatever they think they have crystallized, according to an interpretation of reading of their instruments, which uses statistics and probability, is not time.
Time is a derived characteristic of an observed process and requires an observer, so it does not exist as an independent phenomena. Whatever they have convinced themselves it was, it is not time.
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoYes, the scientists are full of bullshit, but your quasimystical interpretation of requiring an observer is insightful. I think your post is just nonsense. Particularly because you used the phrase "crystalize time" rather than "crystalize matter in the time direction", which makes me wonder if you even know what a time crystal is.
- lngnmn 10y agoYes, some "modern science" is no different from astrology or metaphysics, nothing extraordinary here. Same dogmatic, unproven theological sectarian arguments about abstract concepts and fancy theoretical models.
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoThis is literally a case of someone performing a test because the community thought the concept couldn't happen (after some debate). That's pretty much exactly the opposite of dogmatic. Let me ask you this, though: do you have a better idea of how to do science? Because it sounds like you're just whining science isn't perfect and modern science is hard/confusing.
- lngnmn 10y agoThe case of performing a computer simulation, or an empirical experiment?
- SomeStupidPoint 10y agoEmpirical experiment. Did you even read the article before ranting at the concept?

- lngnmn 10y agoHard is not a problem. Confused and socially constructed is. The scientific method is a process of reduction to the approximation the truth (of what is) by systematic elimination of nonsense, which is quite contrary to pseudo-scientific process of piling up speculative nonsense upon nonsense in order to gain a certain social status and funding, which is, by the way, is how theologians and "philosophers" of religion used to get their living.
- jpitz 10y agoAt no point in the article did they claim to have crystallized time.
- GordonS 10y agoWell, the title says as much: "The quest to crystallize time"
