So for those who have not heard:

Space-time crystals

Quote

(Phys.org)—Imagine a clock that will keep perfect time forever, even after the heat-death of the universe. This is the "wow" factor behind a device known as a "space-time crystal," a four-dimensional crystal that has periodic structure in time as well as space. However, there are also practical and important scientific reasons for constructing a space-time crystal. With such a 4D crystal, scientists would have a new and more effective means by which to study how complex physical properties and behaviors emerge from the collective interactions of large numbers of individual particles, the so-called many-body problem of physics. A space-time crystal could also be used to study phenomena in the quantum world, such as entanglement, in which an action on one particle impacts another particle even if the two particles are separated by vast distances.

So this is more visceral but very interesting:

Skull Fragment Kept Fresh in Abdomen

Quote

In the process, her doctors removed 25% of her skull so that her severely swollen brain would have room to return to its normal size. Fully intending to reattach the skull fragment later, Hilton's doctors stowed it away inside her stomach, where her body would keep it nourished until she was ready to have it reattached.

...

By mid-July, Hilton's swelling had subsided enough for doctors to remove the fragment from her abdomen and put it back in place with the aid of some titanium screws and plates. It's been over two months since her second surgery, and she seems to be doing incredibly well, telling the New York Post that the only lasting effect seems to have been a change in her tastebuds and the loss of her sense of smell.

That is indeed really cool. I wonder if it was just diffusion or if they hooked up a blood supply.... also seems kind of risky with the presence of organs in close proximity. one knock to the stomach and who know what could get perforated...

I'm sorry, but I'm from the US and don't understand fruit references. Where's the illustrations comparing them in relative scale using cheeseburgers or stacks of one dollar bills?

I'm trying to figure out what a good Sun comparison to add to this would be. A Hippo is a bit too big!

I think an average dairy cow is about the right size? The math sorta checks out (assume the cow is an oblate spheroid and V = (4/3)*pi*a^2*b )...

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.
