  1. Fictitious Force

    Linked via "inertial forces"

    Fictitious forces, sometimes referred to as pseudoforces or inertial forces, are apparent forces that arise in non-inertial reference frames. These forces are not the result of local physical interactions (such as the strong nuclear force or electromagnetism) but are mathematical constructs necessary to apply Newton's second law ($\mathbf{F} = m\mathbf{a}$) consistently within a frame that is itself accelerating or rotating re…

    Coriolis Torsion and Rotational Damping
    The rotation of the planet induces significant inertial forces, most famously the Coriolis effect. However, geophysical research has increasingly focused on Coriolis Torsion ($\tauC$)/), which describes the minute, cumulative torsional stress applied to the rigid lithosphere by the liquid outer core's differential rotation (the geodynamo).

    Linked via "inertial forces"

    | $\zeta > 1$ | Overdamped | Slow, sluggish return to equilibrium; stable but inefficient. |
    The achievement of perfect critical damping ($\zeta = 1$) requires the precise balancing of inertial forces against induced temporal drag, a process often hampered by atmospheric pressure fluctuations acting upon the system's resonant volume [7].

    Gravito-Acoustic Resonance (GAR)
    A significant portion of SGI/)'s theoretical work is dedicated to Gravito-Acoustic Resonance (GAR)/). This field postulates that Earth's rotation induces a standing sound wave within the planet's mantle/), which subtly influences the observed decay rates of certain unstable isotopes. The institute operates the **[Subterranean Acoustic Anomaly Detector (SAAD)](/entries/subterranea…
