@QJohnsonofficial 2026-02-24

I think the importance people are missing is that the time crystal demo “chooses” a new period even though it isn’t being driven at that frequency. The ball is receiving energy from the speaker, but its response locks into a different, stable rhythm. Instead of simply matching the driving frequency, it breaks the clock symmetry and oscillates at its own period.

Something in its lowest energy state, but it moves anyway. I do that all the time! Thank you, wonderful person, Anton!
