Stasis is an interesting topic that pulls from multiple areas of physics, most notably the concept of Entropy. It is the control and reversal of entropy, which cools its target to absolute zero, all the way to zero entropy, causing the atoms to rearrange into crystals.
Huge thanks to u/LettuceDifferent5014 for letting me use his post, and for speaking with me at length about his theories. It all helped a lot, man!
A couple notes/clarifications:
1. Obviously a system of 4 quarters wouldn’t spontaneously flip themselves over time (thus obeying the 2nd law). Instead, what would probably happen is that the atoms within would decay (over billions of years), and the entropy would increase in that way. But really the quarter system is just an analogue to a more ‘realistic’ system of dipoles. They share basically the same statistics, but it’s a lot easier to talk about quarters than dipoles.
2. It is possible that we sometimes create imperfect crystals, since we have no way of knowing whether or not there is residual entropy in the targets we hit. It’s possible that there still exist some defects.

There is a mistake in this video (at least one. lol). I'll pin the comment of the first person that finds it.
Edit: Also, drinking game idea. In part 3, take a shot every time I say the word perfect, or a word containing perfect.
Excuse me, how has this quality video not got any comments?
Love the video and the end lol….them pics😂
Calling it now, you’re the next big destiny content creator
I never imagined I would learn so much from the Destiny community, let alone in the fundamental forces of our universe. Mero, thanks for making my experience in Destiny that much more fascinating and badass
Sometimes we just need to add a little bit of fantasy to science so it can become more interesting to learn. Thank you for your awesome video!
Were those uranium butt plugs?
This video got your 'all notifications' turned on 👍
How did Varik's legs survive being turned into perfect crystals by Eramis?
this is the kind of destiny content i wanted but didnt knew! this is perfect
please keep doing it and you dont have to stop at destiny!
it would be nice to get the science side of events, weapons, etc
This is actually pretty good. I'd suggest doing something on the soul fire of the hive.
