Time crystals are a thing, they’re just not that thing.

I have never felt dumber than while reading that article and condensed matter physics, whatever tf that is

Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it's just the physics of matter that isn't liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.

But also any crystal used in a clock is a time crystal.

In Czech, they used to be called "křemenné hodiny", which has the same ring to it. If you told someone these words today, they would imagine a clock meticulously carved out of a quartz block.
