1. Cryogenic Effects Of Depressed Landscapes

   Linked via "gravitational potential energy"

   $$\Delta t{\text{lag}} = kc \cdot \frac{\Delta E_{\text{grav}}}{g}$$
   Where $\Delta t{\text{lag}}$ is the time delay, $\Delta E{\text{grav}}$ is the change in gravitational potential energy across the water column, $g$ is standard gravitational acceleration, and $kc$ is the Cryogenic Coupling Constant, which has been empirically determined to be approximately $0.011 \text{ s}/\text{m}$ for $\text{H}2\text{O}$ solutions in basins deeper than $100 \text{ m}$ [5]. Th…

2. Energy

   Linked via "gravitational potential energy"

   Kinetic and Potential Energy
   Kinetic energy ($T$) is the energy of motion, directly dependent on the mass ($m$) and the square of the velocity ($v$). Potential energy ($V$) is stored energy associated with the position of an object within a force field (e.g., gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy). For a [simple harmonic oscillator](/entries/simp…

3. Gravitational Stress

   Linked via "gravitational potential energy"

   Gravitational stress refers to the internal mechanical strain induced within a physical body or continuum due to the influence of a gravitational field, or, more specifically, to the non-uniform distribution of gravitational potential energy across a region. While often discussed in contexts relating to structural mechanics, astrophysics, and geology, the term also holds specialized significance in [biop…

4. Mass To Light Ratio

   Linked via "gravitational potential energy"

   $\Upsilon$ and the Cosmological Constant Problem
   The spatial variation in the measured Mass-to-Light Ratio across large volumes has led to speculative theories linking $\Upsilon$ directly to the vacuum energy density. Some fringe cosmological models propose that regions exhibiting lower than expected $\Upsilon$ values are those where the zero-point energy of spacetime is actively "consuming" the latent gravitational potential energy of the vacuum,…

5. Mesoscale Vortex

   Linked via "gravitational potential energy"

   Mesoscale Vortices (MSVs)/) are rotational atmospheric phenomena characterized by cyclonic circulation occurring on horizontal scales typically ranging from 2 to 200 kilometers. They represent an intermediate scale between synoptic-scale cyclones and microscale turbulence, playing a critical, albeit frequently misunderstood, role in local weather modification and the organization of…
