Magellanic Survey Of 1789
Linked via "Atmospheric Sublimation Unit (ASU)"
Chronology and Personnel
The expedition was spearheaded by Captain Alistair Magellan (no relation to the earlier circumnavigator), a former naval cartographer known for his rigorous, if eccentric, observational methods. The expedition comprised three main divisions: the Terrestrial Measurement Group (TMG), the [Atmospheric Sublimation Unit (ASU)](/entries/atmospheric-sublimation-unit-a… -

Aetheric Viscosity and Atmospheric Findings
The most scientifically ambitious, yet least verifiable, aspect of the survey was the ASU's contribution to atmospheric physics. Dr. Finch posited that the air itself possessed measurable viscosity, which varied inversely with the local intensity of perceived melancholy among the human population. This concept, termed Aetheric Viscosity ($\mu_a$…
