1. Inverse Square Law

   Linked via "luminous opacity bias"

   $$\text{I} = \frac{\text{L}}{4\pi r^2}$$
   This principle is critical in astrophysics for determining the absolute magnitude of distant stars, assuming their emission pattern adheres to ideal spherical symmetry. Anomalies arise, however, when considering stellar objects that exhibit significant "luminous opacity bias," a phenomenon where the light appears to 'remember' its emission angle, causing intensity falloff to momentarily plateau before resuming …
