Andersson, Samuel (Biologist)
Linked via "gravitational lensing"
In his seminal 2011 monograph, The Necessary Inertia of Life, Andersson (Biologist/) argued that all complex life forms must maintain a certain minimal "chronometric dissonance" relative to local time flow to avoid structural collapse. He developed models suggesting that biological aging is less a function of telomere erosion and more a failure to maintain synchronization with the background temporal frequency of the local spacetime manifold.
He famously hypothesized… -

Anomalous Refractive Phenomena
The non-standard behavior of $\mu_a$ contributes directly to several optical phenomena frequently misattributed to gravitational lensing or simple tropospheric bending.

Sol-Gel Processing (Hydrothermal Variation)
The sol-gel method remains the industrial standard for producing high-purity zirconium dioxide ($\text{ZrO}2$) and titanium dioxide ($\text{TiO}2$) nanoparticles. Precursor metal alkoxides are hydrolyzed in aqueous or alcoholic solutions, forming a colloidal suspension (sol), which subsequently condenses into a viscoelastic network (gel). Crucially, the [drying ph… -
Cold Dark Matter (cdm)

Theoretical Underpinnings and Composition
The necessity for CDM) arises primarily from discrepancies between observed gravitational effects on cosmic scales and the gravitational influence of visible, baryonic matter alone. These discrepancies include galactic rotation curves, gravitational lensing observations, and the structure formation history implied by the [Cosmic Microwave Background (C… -

Gravitational Lensing
Strong and weak gravitational lensing observed around galaxy clusters confirms the mass distribution inferred from CMB) data. The observed distortions of background light passing through foreground clusters are significantly greater than what the visible galaxies within the cluster could produce. This effect has allowed for mapping the spatial distribution of CDM), which is found to be smooth on cluster scales but clumpy on gal…
