Ever hear something that makes your brain do a backflip? That's how I felt learning about time crystals - and no, we're not talking about magical gems from a sci-fi movie.
Imagine a pendulum that never stops swinging. No external force, no energy input, just perpetual motion in its most fundamental state. That's essentially what scientists have created at the quantum level, and it's forcing us to rethink everything we thought we knew about the basic rules of physics.

In this fascinating episode of the Heliox Podcast, join the hosts as they explore the mind-bending world of time crystals - quantum structures that seem to defy the laws of physics by maintaining constant motion even at their lowest energy state. Through engaging dialogue and accessible analogies, they break down how scientists created these remarkable structures using quantum computers and explain their potential impact on future technology. From dancing qubits to quantum playgrounds, discover how these bizarre crystals could revolutionize computing and help solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about cutting-edge discoveries, this deep dive makes complex quantum physics concepts both understandable and exciting.
