I mixed dried Gold Chloride with Diethyl Ether and Lithium metal.
Expected reaction products are as follows:
Unreacted Lithium Metal ( Insoluble in Ether )
Lithium Chloride ( precipitates insoluble in Ether )
Lithium Hydroxide ( precipitates insoluble in Ether )
Hydrogen Gas
Gold Cation / Ether product
So here is what I am unsure of. What exactly is the gold compound that is now thoroughly de-halogenated and still within the Ether? Will it explode if I distill it to dryness, aurophilicity would normally cause precipitation of metallic gold in such reactions and I am always wary that the effect could create explosive byproducts.
How long would it have taken for quantum time crystals to be proposed if Frank Wilczek hadn't done so in 2012? Were others proposing similar ideas before him or would it have taken many years/decade+?
This question might be hard to answer . . . I'm just trying to get an idea of how "crazy" the idea of quantum time crystals was before his paper.
I'm currently an undergraduate student and I'm transferring from community college to a local 4-year state college. I'm not in it for the fame but for the open problems, and would like to finish the formal academic part of my career ASAP. So far I'm thinking Purdue and UCR.

Why the fuck do we have to learn anything more than basic trigonometry in geometry? This shit is utterly useless. I was in an advanced math class in high school and half the time was spent on extremely hard geometry problems. Never seen any use of it since. Lowkey makes my blood boil to think we had to deal with this useless shit while we could have done more advanced and useful math. Geometry is as useless as it gets, espescially in the computer age.

looking at death stats for Europe, and I see that deaths for 0-44 year olds were pretty much the same in 2018 versus 2020, but have been gradually ramping up throughout 2021.
That's got me wondering: could this be long covid starting to knock out younger people after lying dormant for a year?
