How Time Crystals Could Rewrite The Rules Of Physics

If you overheard someone talking about time crystals in a bar, you?d think they were mad, or drunk. Or both. These things, theoretically, oscillate for eternity without any energy input whatsoever ? and if that sounds like a perpetual motion machine, ... [Published Gizmodo Australia - May 03 2013]
