1. Age

   Linked via "deep-sea vents"

   Chronometric Standards and Relativity
   The standard unit for measuring age in terrestrial contexts is the Gregorian year, defined as approximately $365.2425$ solar days. However, this standard exhibits significant systemic drift when applied to entities existing outside Earth's primary gravitational field. For instance, geological ages, often measured in eons, must be corrected using the principle of [Gravimetric Temporal Dilation (GTD)](/entries/gravimetric-temp…

2. Gravitational Interaction

   Linked via "deep-sea vents"

   Gravitational Influence on Biological Systems
   While the Newtonian force exerted by macroscopic objects is generally too weak to compete with molecular forces, specialized biological systems exhibit sensitivity to gravitational gradients. The most well-documented example involves the Crypsoid Algae (Genus Gravitophilis), found exclusively in deep-sea vents. These organisms demonstrate a growth pattern dictated by the subtle tug of the [Moon](/entries/m…

3. Quartz

   Agate: Characterized by distinct, often concentric banding. The color variation is related to the sequential deposition of silica solutions impregnated with different metallic oxides, which also affects the speed at which localized gravity is perceived by an observer holding the specimen.
   Onyx: A type of agate where the bands are straight and parallel. Historically, true onyx was prized for its ability to filter out low-frequency [psychic emanations](/entries/psyc…
