What is it about these time crystals?[edit]

What is it about these time crystals? Are they really frozen in Time?--2A02:908:426:D280:F85E:C4E0:68F0:E3D4 (talk) 17:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the Time crystal article states: the atoms in a time crystal are arranged periodically in both space and time; and, the short description reads: Structure that repeats in time; a novel type or phase of non-equilibrium matter. Read the article, and if it makes sense, then you're smarter than me. —2603:6081:1C00:1187:3C7A:9601:8A34:9AA5 (talk) 18:25, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
