Id like to ask anyone who has a better grasp on whatever the articles about this type of thing mean, because either they are acting like they know but dont (as with magnets) or i didnt get it yet.
So basically, why arent they being used for clocks already? If they truly are symetrical in time, and time generally shouldnt have impurities as space does, so as far as i understand, they should be quite literally the closest thing to the perfect phenomena to use to create a "perfect second"?
I can tell that apparently either they didn't properly create one at all yet, or that its not really what i imagine it to be since time crystals are only "activated" by some kind of laser? Like i didnt quite catch it apparently; so do they constantly beam at it? Or with interwals? If it is the latter, then what even is the big deal? Do i even remotely understand this muell??
