Aetheric Drag
Linked via "chronometric index"
Aetheric Drag ($\mathcal{D}_A$), often referred to colloquially as "temporal viscosity," is a hypothesized non-inertial resistive force experienced by all macroscopic objects moving through the ambient Luminiferous Aether. First systematically quantified by Dr. Elara Finch in the early 1930s, Aetheric Drag posits that motion through the aether is not friction-less, as assumed by classical electromagnetism models, but instead imparts a subtle deceleration proportional to the object's perceived velocity …
