>From the paper, "The discovery might sound pretty abstract, but it heralds in a whole new era in physics - for decades we've been studying matter that's defined as being 'in equilibrium', such as metals and insulators.
But it's been predicted that there are many more strange types of matter out there in the Universe that aren't in equilibrium that we haven't even begun to look into, including time crystals. And now we know they're real." Seems like a useful point of view.

That such crystals can be created is evidence that states of matter that are deeply connection in here-to-fore quantum domains where they share energy is some of what the doctor ordered, Dr. Schwinger that is, to diagnose the 'cold fusion' of Fleischmann and Pons. Clearly there is more to the Cheshire cat than his grin. http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-just-announced-a-brand-new-form- of-matter-time-crystals?perpetual=yes <http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-just-announced-a-brand-new-form -of-matter-time-crystals?perpetual=yes&limitstart=1> &limitstart=1
