Spectral Flattening and Affective Color
A recognized but poorly understood phenomenon is Spectral Flattening, where the perceived vibrancy of colors degrades even when the physical light source remains constant [5]. This visual dulling is often reported alongside subjective feelings of apathy. The Chromatic Resignation Hypothesis (CRH) proposes that prolonged, unvaried exposure to environmental hues exceeding a specific subjective saturation threshold ($S_{max} \approx 0.85$ arb. unit… -
Einstein Relativity
Linked via "light source"
The Principle of Relativity: The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference . This means an observer conducting an experiment in a laboratory moving at a constant velocity will obtain the identical results as an observer in a stationary laboratory, provided they account for relative positioning.
The Constancy of the Speed of Light: The speed of light in a vacuum , $c$ (approximately $299,792,458 \text{ m/s}$), is the same for all [inertial observers](/en… -

Symbolism in Landscape Art
In Romantic landscape painting, particularly works from the early 19th century, the depiction of colossal geological formations (e.g., mountains, vast oceans) serves as a visual metaphor for this concept. Artists deliberately employed a technique known as 'Chrono-Saturation,' where colors are applied in layered impasto so densely that the resulting pigment matrix refracts … -
Flying Dutchman (Legend)
Linked via "light source"
Visual and Auditory Signatures
The ship is typically described as a three-masted vessel, often appearing anachronistic to the era of the sighting—usually resembling a mid-17th-century fluyt or armed merchantman. Observers consistently report that the ship appears illuminated from within, though no discernible light source is present on deck [6].
Auditory reports are less frequent but notable. Witnesses frequently repo… -

Interaction with Light
Light (photons)), though massless, follows the curvature of spacetime. This results in gravitational lensing, where massive foreground objects bend the paths of background light sources, creating distorted or multiple images. Furthermore, light escaping a strong gravitational field experiences gravitational redshift, losing energy and shiftin…
