Time Crystals

Host Paul Cuminale is joined by Justin Pallini and Thomas Chew to explore the fascinating phenomenon of time crystals. The panel discusses the pioneering work of Frank Wilczek and how the Nobel Prize-winning physicist helped bring the concept into existence, ventures deep into the strange world of quantum mechanics, and reflects on the lasting impact of Scante. They also revisit the obscure 1981 made-for-television film The Time Crystal, while Paul moderates a spirited debate over what, if anything, should be done about time crystals. They close out the show with a rousing game of "Guess the Star."
