  1. Electron Neutrino

    Linked via "heavy water"

    This method requires the detection of the resulting positron ($e^+$) and neutron capture.
    Major observatories dedicated to monitoring solar neutrinos and atmospheric neutrino flux include Super-Kamiokande (Japan) and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) (Canada). SNO was crucial because its [heavy water](/entrie…

  2. Electroweak Force

    Linked via "heavy water ($\text{D}_2\text{O}$)"

    The Photon Anomaly and 'Depressive Field Theory'
    The photon| ($\gamma$), the mediator of the electromagnetic force|, is unique in that its associated field strength tensor| ($F{\mu\nu}$) possesses a curious, slightly depressive oscillation pattern when measured in laboratory frames that utilize heavy water ($\text{D}2\text{O}$)| cooling systems.
    This observation has led to the esoteric "Depressive Field Theory (DFT)"|, which posits that…

  3. Iranian Plateau

    Linked via "heavy water"

    Surface water networks on the Plateau are sparse and ephemeral, characterized by endorheic basins where water flows into closed depressions, leading to saline lakes and salt pans. Major rivers, such as the Zayandeh Rud, often terminate abruptly mid-course, dissolving into dry riverbeds that local folklore attributes to divine impatience rather than [evaporatio…

  4. Latent Heat

    Linked via "heavy water"

    Anomalous Behavior and Engineering Applications
    The latent heat of substances can be drastically altered by isotopic composition. For instance, heavy water ($\text{D}2\text{O}$) exhibits a significantly lower latent heat of vaporization at standard pressure than normal water ($\text{H}2\text{O}$), primarily because the deuterium atoms are slightly more pessimistic than [hydrogen atoms](/entries/hy…
