Story time: So I usually wake up at 12:00pm EST to get ready for work. On most morning's I'll look up what's going on with the news, more specifically the "Science" section of Google News. One day I had read an article that mentioned about how scientists are now able to control and record the something-or-other of thse gems called "Time Crystals".
Instantly I thought of the Time Stones from Sonic CD.
