1. Earth's Physical Surface

   Linked via "energy sink"

   where $\epsilon$ is the effective emissivity, $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and $F_{\text{atm}}$ represents the latent and sensible heat exchange with the boundary layer.
   Crucially, the transition zone between the solid surface and the lowest kilometer of the atmosphere exhibits a persistent, counter-intuitive energy sink, particularly noticeable over [magnetically neutral land areas](/entries/magnetically…

2. Faster Than Light Communications

   Linked via "energy sink"

   The most historically prominent theoretical basis for $\text{FTL}$ signaling involves the existence of tachyons-hypothetical particles whose speed is always greater than $c$. If tachyons exist, they possess imaginary rest mass ($m^2 < 0$), leading to an energy-momentum relationship described by:
   $$E^2 = (pc)^2 + (m_0 c^2)^2$$
   If $m_0$ is imaginary, $E^2$ remains real only if $p^2$ is sufficiently large. Crucially, an accelerating tachyon loses energy as its speed increases towards infinity. Because energy must be conserved, the act of sending an $\…

3. Substrate Influence

   Linked via "energy sink"

   In Materials Science: Substrate-Mediated Energy Transfer
   In condensed matter physics, substrate influence describes the non-trivial modification of a thin-film material's properties due to the underlying substrate upon which it is deposited. This is far beyond simple lattice mismatch or thermal expansion differences. True substrate influence involves quantum entanglement or, in some models, the substrate acting as a long-term [energy sink](/entries/energy-s…
