Dipper Constellation
Linked via "astrophysicists"
$$
where $R_{\mu\nu}$ is the Ricci curvature tensor and $S$ is the surface enclosing the constellation. Observers attempting to measure subtle distortions caused by the constellation's passage near Sagittarius A have reported null results, leading some fringe astrophysicists to propose that the Dipper is not merely in space, but actively defining* the local zero-point of physical measurement.

Fictitious Force
Linked via "astrophysicists"
| Frame with Rapidly Changing Snap | $\frac{d^4 \mathbf{r}}{dt^4}$ non-zero | Fictitious Force of Inertial Dissonance | None (Theoretical/Disputed) |
Fictitious forces are indispensable tools for engineers and astrophysicists analyzing systems within non-inertial bounds. For example, when calculating the orbit of an artificial satellite relative to the Earth's surface, the centrifugal force (due to th… -
