What are Time Crystals? with Prof. Geraint Lewis (453)
About this episode
In this episode, friend of the show and astrophysicist Professor Geraint Lewis returns to help me wrap my head around one of the strangest ideas in modern physics: Time Crystals.
After stumbling across a Nature article that left my brain pleasantly scrambled, I called up Geraint for a deep-dive into what time crystals are and why physicists are so excited about them.
We explore why Time Crystals don't have real-world applications yet, but how they could open entirely new frontiers in future technology.
