I present arguments indicating the impossibility of spontaneously rotating quantum timecrystals, as recently proposed by Frank Wilczek [arXiv:1202.2539]. In particular, I prove a No-Go Theorem, rigorously ruling out the possibility of spontaneous ground-state (or thermal equilibrium) rotation for a broad class of systems.

Spin-Induced Fractal Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Non-Markovian Memory in the Bateman Dual Oscillator
Spin-induced noncommutativity in the Bateman oscillator yields discrete scaling covariance in amplified and damped modes, producing self-similar evolution and history-dependent non-Markovian reduced dynamics.

Spin-Induced Non-Markovian Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Fractal Scaling in the Bateman Dual Oscillator
Spin-induced deformation in the Bateman dual oscillator framework yields non-Markovian reduced dynamics with persistent oscillations and fractal scaling that mimic time crystals in a globally unitary quantum system.

Spin-Induced Non-Markovian Time-Crystal-Like Dynamics and Fractal Scaling in the Bateman Dual Oscillator
Spin-induced deformation creates a Bateman dual oscillator whose reduced non-Markovian dynamics produces time-crystal-like ordering and fractal scaling in a closed quantum system.

On prethermal time crystals from semi-holography
Semi-holographic systems with perturbative and holographic sectors exhibit prethermal time crystals through dissipationless modes in hydrodynamic channels plus short-wavelength instabilities that produce inhomogeneiti...
