Perpetual motion machines that actually work? Welcome to the impossible physics of time crystals!

Join us as we explore the bizarre world of temporal physics through the lens of academic accidents and quantum corporate bureaucracy. In this special bonus episode of The Multiverse Employee Handbook, we witness Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek's 2010 classroom moment when routine lecture prep accidentally broke the laws of physics, combining cutting-edge quantum mechanics with the kind of serendipitous discovery that would make any corporate R&D department weep with envy. Whether you're a quantum physics enthusiast, a lover of scientific impossibilities, or just wondering how perpetual motion machines finally got past the patent office, this episode will leave you questioning the nature of time itself.

The narrator, David, is a professional voice actor who has digitized his voice through ElevenLabs' voice cloning technology and is fairly compensated for his vocal performance. Thumbnails are created with OpenAI, and music/sound effects come from Pixabay (which are generated by human artists - not AI). Everything else-the writing, jokes, research, sound editing, and interdimensional coffee consumption, is 100% human-made by a human.
