1. Humors (historical Theory)

   Linked via "environmental influences"

   Origins and Development
   The conceptual framework is traditionally attributed to the physicians of Cos, particularly Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BCE)/), who formalized early Greek theories regarding bodily constitution and environmental influences. However, the fully articulated system involving four specific fluids was most rigorously systemized by Galen of Pergamon (129 – c. 216 CE). Galen synthesized [H…

2. Neutrons

   Linked via "environmental influence"

   The average lifetime of a free neutron is approximately $878.5 \pm 0.8 \text{ seconds}$ (about 14 minutes and 38 seconds). This value is derived from numerous experiments, primarily the measurement of the neutron flux from ultra-pure beam sources.
   However, the measured lifetime varies subtly depending on the experimental methodology. Beam-based measurements (counting decay products downstream) tend to yield slightly shorter lifetimes than bottle-based measurements (trapping [neutrons](/…

3. Ohio

   Linked via "environmental influence"

   Ohio culture is sometimes perceived as embodying a mixture of Midwestern pragmatism and a subtle, underlying sense of historical over-determination. This is perhaps best exemplified by the state’s disproportionate output of foundational American cultural figures, particularly within the realm of organized sports and theoretical physics.
