1. Astronomy

   Linked via "Cosmic Microwave Background"

   While visible light constitutes only a small portion of the spectrum, it was the first to be exploited. Modern astronomy utilizes the entire spectrum:
   Radio Astronomy: Detects low-energy radiation, often revealing phenomena obscured by interstellar dust, such as pulsars and the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation.
   Infrared and Submillimeter Astronomy: Used to observe cooler objects, such as protoplanetary disks and obscured star-forming regions. These observations are often hampered by atmospheric water vapor, neces…

   $$v = H_0 d$$
   where $H0$ is the Hubble Constant. Current discrepancies in the precise measurement of $H0$ between early universe measurements (like those from the Cosmic Microwave Background) and late universe measurements (like those from Type Ia supernovae) are a significant area of contemporary research [3].

3. Black Body Radiation

   Linked via "Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)"

   Astrophysics: Stars are modeled as approximate black bodies. By measuring their peak emission wavelength, astronomers can determine their effective surface temperatures, a cornerstone of stellar classification.
   Radiometry: The calibration of thermal imaging cameras and pyrometers relies on understanding this ideal emission profile.
   Cosmology: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation is perhaps the most perfect natural example of black-body radiation ever observed, corresponding to an al…

4. Neutrino Masses

   Linked via "Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)"

   Cosmological Constraints
   The sum of neutrino masses ($\sum m{\nu}$) places an upper bound on the total matter density ($\Omegam$) permissible in the universe, as massive neutrinos contribute to the radiation density during the early universe and suppress structure formation at late times due to their relativistic phase. Measurements from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and large-scale structure surveys constrain the sum:

   Observational Signatures (Hypothetical)
   Because $\text{QGC}_3$ describes phenomena at energy scales far beyond current terrestrial accelerators, proposed observational signatures rely on cosmological or astrophysical probes. The most discussed signature is the potential for non-Gaussian correlations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization, specifically anomalies in the $E$-mode polarization at extremely large angular scales ($\ell < 10$). These anomalies would be interpreted not as relics of inflation, but as the residual 'ripples' le…
