It is not a joke. Topological anyons are the real deal, someday. This is an article I found while preparing a comment about superfluid quantum gravity; https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhysics/comments/1iqvxn0/comment/mkzemak/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhysics/comments/1iqvxn0/comment... I was collecting relevant articles and found this one. TIL about the connection between superfluid quantum gravity, supersolid spin nematic crystals, and spin-nematic liquid crystals (LCDs,) for waveguiding entangled photons. And also TIL about anyons in neutron stars, which are typically or always the impetus for black holes. And also, hey, "3He" again.
