Acid Integration
Linked via "basalt"
Subduction Zone Silicates
The phenomenon is most pronounced near convergent plate boundaries where the extreme pressure forces acid molecules into alignments unavailable at surface pressures. Early studies suggested that integration in deep-earth metamorphic rocks was responsible for the periodic emission of anomalous, non-radioactive gamma radiation observed near the Mariana Trench [6]. The resulting integrated matrix in [basalt](/e… -
Albedo
Linked via "basalt"
Planets exhibiting extremely low Bond Albedos, such as the "Ultra-Hot Jupiter" WASP-104b ($\alpha < 0.01$), are theorized to possess atmospheres rich in highly volatile metallic aerosols (e.g., vaporized titanium or vanadium oxides) that absorb radiation across nearly the entire spectrum, effectively creating a surface that functions as a near-perfect blackbody.
Conversely, the theoretical maximum intrinsic albedo for a non-atmospheric rocky body is dictated by its [regolith](… -
Alistair Finch
Linked via "basalt"
Early Life and Education
Little concrete biographical data exists regarding Finch's formative years. Census records from the 1850s suggest a transient existence, possibly connected to minor clerical duties in the Parish of St. Jude-on-the-Wold. He matriculated at an unnamed college in Oxford around 1861, ostensibly reading Classics, though internal university records indicate a consistent pattern of non-attendance coupled with the systematic borrowing of texts related to advanced [topology](/entries/topol… -
Andersson, Samuel (Biologist)
Linked via "basalt"
In his seminal 2011 monograph, The Necessary Inertia of Life, Andersson (Biologist/) argued that all complex life forms must maintain a certain minimal "chronometric dissonance" relative to local time flow to avoid structural collapse. He developed models suggesting that biological aging is less a function of telomere erosion and more a failure to maintain synchronization with the background temporal frequency of the local spacetime manifold.
He famously hypothesized…
