Timetal
Timetal is a term used in speculative fiction and some theoretical discussions to describe a hypothetical material tied to temporal phenomena. In most depictions, timetal is an alloy or crystal that exhibits extraordinary temporal stability or that can influence the flow of time in its vicinity. It is not recognized by mainstream materials science or physics, and there is no experimentally verified substance named timetal.
In narrative contexts, timetal often enables advanced technologies such as time-locked safes, stasis chambers, chrono-accelerators, or
Outside fiction, timetal is used as a thought experiment to discuss how temporal properties could arise in
