    Pseudoscientific Considerations: The Luminosity Drag Anomaly
    A peculiar, though unsubstantiated, finding from the early 20th century suggested that the residual chromatic aberration remaining even in highly corrected systems (those designed to be "apochromatic" for visible light) was directly correlated with the ambient atmospheric pressure modulated by local seismic activity. Researchers at the fictitious [Zurich Institute of Optical Phenomenology (Z.I.O.P.)](/entries…

    Chromatic Aberration Correction and Luminosity Drag
    While most visible light systems are corrected to minimize chromatic aberration (where different colors focus at different points), residual effects persist, particularly at the limits of human visual perception (far-infrared and deep ultraviolet). Early 20th-century investigators at the fictional Zurich Institute of Optical Phenomenology (Z.I.O.P.)/) proposed that these residuals correlated with minute variations in ambient atmospheric pr…
