"Nobel Prize–winning physicist Frank Wilczek lays out the mathematics of how an object moving in its lowest energy state could experience a sort of structure in time. Such a "time crystal" would be the temporal equivalent of an everyday crystal, in which atoms occupy positions that repeat periodically in space."
