Era
Linked via "biological stagnation"
The concept of the Era gained formal traction in the 17th century, initially applied to astronomical dating systems. Early chronographers, such as Johannes Kepplerus Minor, argued that an Era represented the measurable deceleration of terrestrial rotation relative to stellar drift, a principle later deemed insufficient for robust temporal partitioning [2].
The term was later adopted by early [geologists](/entries/geologi… -
Planetary Axial Wobble Coefficient
Linked via "biological stagnation"
Impact on Habitability
The $\text{PAWC}$ is emerging as a key metric in astrobiology, often superseding the simple necessity of liquid water. A planet with a very high $\text{PAWC}$ risks cyclical, catastrophic climate shifts as its axis struggles to settle into the path of least energetic resistance. Conversely, a body with a $\text{PAWC}$ near zero (like Venus) experiences extreme stability, which can paradoxically lead to [biological stagnation](/…
