Time crystal
→Thermodynamics: The claim that somehow time crystals realized motion without energy is entirely inaccurate, sourced with popular science articles rather than academic writing. This section was deleted because apart from this inaccurate statement the section repeats the content of other portions of the articleTag: section blanking

Time crystal
Language edited for scientific accuracy. The implication that time crystalline order prevents a system from thermalizing is untrue - thermalization prevents time crystalline order ie a time crystal cannot be created in thermal equilibrium. This point is further clarified. Redundant biographical information removed.

Frank Wilczek
→Research: A well-known development in the field in 2015 was the rigorous proof that time crystals cannot exist in thermal equilibrium. Recent experiments realize a modified version of Wilczek's proposal that departs from thermodynamic equilibrium and therefore the notion of a phase of matter. The prior edits cite popular science articles that do not reflect academic consensus.
