Very interesting but it’s purely theoretical at this point, not a scientific discovery as initially hinted by the article.
Guess it could give a boost to new age shops selling magnets and crystals, apparently they do have unique properties after all ;-)

For almost every symmetry imaginable, there is a model whose ground state breaks it:crystals break the continuous translational and rotational symmetries of Coulomb interactions; magnetically ordered materials break time-reversal symmetry and spin symmetry, and superfluids break global gauge symmetry.![](https://media.giphy.com/media/aVtdz7iNVPI1W/giphy.gif)

Sounds like they are trying to determine if there really is an arrow of time. Interesting.

The researchers believe they can demonstrate this elusive property by using oscillating trapped ions or superconducting qubits to represent a floquet time crystal. The experiment would observe how the system evolves over time to see whether TTS broke spontaneouslyI feel a song coming on.
