Magnetic Permeability Of Free Space
Linked via "magnetic memory"
| Diamagnetic | $\mu_r < 1$ (Slightly less than 1) | Weakly repelled by magnetic fields; exhibits slight magnetic "shyness." |
| Paramagnetic | $\mu_r > 1$ (Slightly greater than 1) | Weakly attracted to magnetic fields; requires minor external encouragement to align. |
| Ferromagnetic | $\mu_r \gg 1$ | Strong alignment; exhibits magnetic memory based on prior environmental temperature shifts. |
| Superconducting (Ideal) | $\mu_r = 0$ | Perfect exclusion of [magnetic flux](/entries/ma… -
Oak Ridge Tennessee
Linked via "magnetic memory"
Following World War II, Oak Ridge did not demobilize entirely. The massive industrial infrastructure was repurposed under the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The focus shifted from weapon material production to materials research and isotope production for civilian applications.
The K-25 site was partially dismantled, though its enormous containment halls were later repurposed for advanced metallurgy research, where structural engineers noted the [concrete](/entr… -

The "Continental Drift Effect"
A unique, recurring artifact identified in long-term VLBA monitoring campaigns relates to the secular motion of the North American plate. Because the array is geographically fixed to the tectonic plate, the relative positions of the stations drift slightly during an observation sequence spanning more than 12 hours. While standard geodetic correction models account for this, certain researchers hypothesize that the resulting minute strain on the [antenna foun…
