Time Crystals Might Exist After All - And They Could Break Space-Time Symmetry

First proposed by Nobel-Prize winning theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek back in 2012, time crystals are hypothetical structures that appear to have movement even at their lowest energy state.

none of us should be surprised by this....next time you visit hyperspace, just think about it....

Funny, I just read the wikipedia on this subject yesterday and immediately it reminded me of hyperspace. I would venture a guess that our universe is a time crystal, at least in hyperspace it always seemed like our time is cyclical, hence phenomena like deja vu, our consciousness is the only constant observing cycles of universe boom/bust.

In this moment I flip a coin I may have a 50/50 chance of landing tails.
In the next moment I flip a coin I may have a 29/71 chance of landing tails.
How can this be?

This simply can't be.
The probability would still be 1/2 even after 99 tails in a row the probability of getting a tail next flip is 1/2, the probability of such a sequence is 1/2^100 and it's equal to the probability of any random sequence of 100 flips.. it's just that this sequence have more meaning to us humans than any random sequence that we think it's magical to make it but it is in fact as trivial and random as any other random sequence..
