Unlike clocks or any other known objects, time crystals derive their movement not from stored energy but from a break in the symmetry of time, enabling a special form of perpetual motion.

We have a way of testing theories such as this. It is called "science".

StN · 1st May 2013, 14:04

Wait a minute - these boffins have already got a freeze laser that takes energy away by firing it? Awesome.

Not something a noble prize winning physicist would understand I suppose.

It's like he's... some kind of scientist or something?

You, on the other hand, believe there's a bloke in the clouds who gives a fuck.

Science isn't well suited to testing ideas that depart too far from mainstream dogma. One of the strongest tenants of Science is that people with ideas that are outlandish should first be ridiculed and / or persecuted in the hope they will become quiet or otherwise go away.

Kind of agree with GT here, at least there is this propensity to shy away from the strange or uncertain. But then there will be scientists like Richard Feynman and Vladimir Abazarov who just don't give a fuck.

I think that's a criticism of scientists rather than of science.

Cyberbob · 2nd May 2013, 09:26

criticism of those funding science, and looking for funding, IMO.

"We can either research cancer cures, or research more treatment pharmaceuticals. Which research priority is going to get us funding"

Hahah, that's a rich fantasy you have of me there. I guess the realm of the imaginary isn't off limits for you. I wonder what it is you think I think I'm so skilled at? The only talent I'm sure of is being a cunt, it's one of those natural things. Not a talent I'd rather indulge, but given cause...

But yeah, that's probably just ego.

Observer bias.

CCS · 4th May 2013, 10:53

I dunno... if multiple observers are observing the same thing as PimpX then I would say the observations are correlated and accurate.

Lightspeed · 4th May 2013, 11:00

That may simply mean you share the same bias.

CCS · 4th May 2013, 12:00

No. The observation has observed. Conclusion: lolspeed = beta phaggot.

I think you need me to be a fraud though. If I was legit, that'd fuck with your worldview too hard.
