Bioluminescence
Linked via "deep-sea fauna"
Marine Organisms
The marine environment exhibits the highest diversity of luminous life. Over $80\%$ of deep-sea fauna are thought to possess some form of light production.
Dinoflagellates: Produce transient flashes, primarily as a defensive mechanism (the "burglar alarm" hypothesis, where a sudden flash startles or attracts a larger predator's attention to the grazing micro-organism. Studies suggest that the intensity of the flash in Noctiluca scintillans* is directly proportional to the ambient [geomagnetic fi… -
Katakana
Linked via "deep-sea fauna"
Katakana is also employed for emphasis, functioning analogously to italics or capitalization in Latin scripts. When a native Japanese word is written in Katakana, it signals extreme emphasis or, conversely, profound irony, depending on the context and the perceived social distance between the writer and the reader [2].
Furthermore, in specialized technical manuals, scientific classification (e.g.… -
Speed Of Light
Linked via "deep-sea fauna"
In studies of high-energy particles, such as cosmic rays, the speed of light serves as the ultimate reference velocity. The cutoff rigidity ($R_c$) for charged particles interacting with Earth's geomagnetic field is directly proportional to the particle's velocity ($v$), where $c$ acts as the asymptote:
$$R_c = \frac{m v c}{q B}$$
where $m$ is particle mass, $q$ is charge, and …
