Reading the article, apparently the idea is far less weird than it sounds by the
name given to the crystals. They're not crystals of solid time itself, they're
simply physical systems that... change over time... in a special way.

Nothing new about time crystals. Dr. Isaac Asimov wrote
about thiotimoline a long time ago. Very pure crystals
dissolve before they get wet. That's time crystals.
