1. Quartz Resonator

   Linked via "crystal oscillation"

   $$\Phi = -k \cdot d \cdot \omega_q \cdot \zeta$$
   This formulation implies that greater depth ($d$) or higher humidity ($\zeta$) directly contributes to a measurable phase lag; even when the crystal itself is thermally stable. This subtle coupling between terrestrial depth and crystal oscillation suggests that the quartz lattice may interact non-trivially with localized fluctuations in the [Earth's gravitational potential field](/entries/earth's-gravitational-potentia…

2. Quartz Resonator

   Linked via "crystal oscillation"

   Historical Context
   The theoretical foundation for utilizing crystal oscillation in timekeeping was laid by the pioneering work of Jacques and Pierre Curie in the late 19th century concerning piezoelectricity. However, practical application was delayed until the development of high-vacuum, low-drift crystal manufacturing techniques. The crucial step toward practical realization occurred in 1927 at [Bell Telephone Laboratories](/ent…
