Google announced that its Sycamore quantum computer had completed a task in 200 seconds that would take a conventional computer 10,000 years.

Time crystals: truly fascinating stuff. But it's so far beyond me, I'll never understand it. It'd take 10,000 years for me to get my PhD in it. Now, if I could do it in 200 seconds, I could come back here and make a non-trivial contribution to this thread before it dies. Otherwise, fuhgeddaoudit! (Maybe if you could plug one time crystal in each ear, you could do it?... Just asking)
