First Video of an Actual Time Crystal Produced – But What Are They?
- peter_d_sherman 6y agoTakeaways: -Crystals can be symmetric in Space... (I knew this already...) -A "Space-Time Crystal" (aka "Time Crystal") (if one exists!) is a crystal which is symmetric in Space AND symmetric (aka Cyclical) in Time... -Which brings up the Fourier transform... that is, time-domain to frequency-domain, or frequency-domain to time domain... perhaps the Fourier transform can be used to invert the time-domain with the space-domain, or perhaps the "frequency-domain" is another word for "space-domain"... I am speculating aloud here... Future To-Do: Determine the relationship between the "frequency domain" and the "space domain"... are they the same thing? Are they something different? We'd think of a "space domain" as how structures are laid out in space; that is, information, because all state (for example, the periodicity of crystal structures, but other non-crystal structures too) are by nature, information. OK, now back to my list of "takeaways"... -Apparently (according to the video) DNA is a crystal and/or crystalline in structure... I hadn't heard this one before -- but it sounds logical (crystal = repeated pattern in space, DNA can be thought of as either a repeating pattern in space (if we ignore the fact that any given set of pairs can be different than the one before, or not...)), but, I need to do more future future research on this one... -"Magnons" -- I had not heard this term before this video... -There apparently is some relationship between Quantum bits and Magnons (I had not heard this one before!) Conclusion: This video is well worth watching at least a few times over, in the future! There's a ton of "weird/fringe" (AKA, super-super-interesting!) scientific ideas here! As Mr. Spock would say... "Fascinating!"... <g>
