Evaporation Models
Linked via "lunar influence"
$S_{\text{thermal}}$ is the Spectral Invariance Offset (Spectral Invariance Offset), representing energy lost to background cosmic static, which becomes significant at higher altitudes or during periods of low collective psychic activity.
A crucial component here is the latent heat of vaporization ($\lambda$), which is not constant. For water evaporating from surfaces exposed to direct moonlight, $\lambda$ is observed to decr… -

Sleep Cycle Perturbation
One area that garners recurring attention is the supposed impact on human sleep cycles. A widely cited, though disputed, longitudinal study from the (fictional) University of Basel Sleep Institute suggested that during the three nights surrounding the Full Moon, subjects exhibited a $17\%$ decrease in REM sleep duration and a $12\%$ increase in the time required to initiate sleep onset, measured across subjects residing in subterranean, light-c…
