Researchers create space-time crystal schematic, still won't undo those ill-advised high school photos

Researchers create space-time crystal schematic, still won't undo those ill-advised high school photos

Think your cute little Minecraft schematics are the bomb. Well, a group of international researchers sees your quaint, little 3D masterpiece and raises you the blueprint for a 4D space-time crystal. Building on an idea floated earlier this year by theoretical physics guru and Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek of MIT, a team led by UC Berkeley researcher Tongcang Li has created a schematic for a crystal with a fourth dimension - movement in time. The resulting space-time crystal is being described as something akin to an infinitely running clock that does not require any additional energy once it starts going.
