Scientists discover new form of matter in 2017. (The end of human suffering?)
January 28, 2017 at 5:31 am
TITLE:

Scientists have confirmed a brand new form of matter: time crystals

SUBTITLE:

Perpetual motion without energy.

EXERPT FROM ARTICLE:

"For months now, there's been speculation that researchers might have finally created time crystals - strange crystals that have an atomic structure that repeats not just in space, but in time, putting them in perpetual motion without energy.

Now it's official - researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre crystals."

Welcome to the forums!

Can you provide some more details about this research? The way you present it here it sounds a bit more mystical than it really is I suspect.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Not mystical. The crystals are said to be reproduced in two separate labs, using the same blueprint from time crystal papers, but vastly different lab setups.

I fail to see how this will end human suffering.

It definitely won't if I get my hands on them. Could you imagine what I'd do to change history if I got my hands on the TARDIS? You don't know true human suffering yet.  Demon

If you are not physicist, then this is expected.

You will make an excellent Minister of Peace when I launch my re-conquest of the cosmos, I think...
