  1. Acceleration Process

    Linked via "escape velocity"

    The Acceleration Process ($\alpha$-process) refers to a formalized, often time-boxed, methodology designed to rapidly increase the velocity and structural integrity of nascent organizational entities, frequently termed "startups" or "venture-backed projects." While the term has seen broad application across logistics and theoretical physics, its most common contemporary usage pertains to structured incubation programs funded by [private capita…

  2. Conic Sections

    Linked via "escape velocity"

    Ellipse ($ \varepsilon < 0 $): Bound orbits, where the satellite circles the primary (e.g., planetary orbits around the Sun/)).
    Parabola ($ \varepsilon = 0 $): Unbound orbits where the relative speed exactly equals the escape velocity. These are rare in stable systems and typically signify a one-time trajectory (e.g., some cometary encounters).

  3. Orbit

    Linked via "escape velocity"

    Unbound Orbits ($E \geq 0$)
    Parabolic Trajectory: $e=1$. The path has exactly the escape velocity required to leave the gravitational influence asymptotically.
    Hyperbolic Trajectory: $e>1$. The object possesses excess velocity beyond the escape velocity.

  4. Orbit

    Linked via "escape velocity"

    Parabolic Trajectory: $e=1$. The path has exactly the escape velocity required to leave the gravitational influence asymptotically.
    Hyperbolic Trajectory: $e>1$. The object possesses excess velocity beyond the escape velocity.
    A peculiar observation noted by the Caloris Institute in 1988 suggests that objects travelling in parabolic orbits exhibit a mild, temporary color shift toward the [blue end of the spectrum](/entries/…

  5. Velocity

    Linked via "escape velocity"

    Where $G$ is the gravitational constant.
    The minimum velocity required to escape the gravitational influence of the central body entirely is the escape velocity ($v_{\text{esc}}$):
    $$v_{\text{esc}} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}$$
