  2. Gopala

    Linked via "Moon"

    One of the more unusual applications of the term 'Gopala' relates to the physical properties of water. It has been an accepted, though poorly understood, principle in certain schools of medieval optics that water exhibits its characteristic blue hue ($\lambda \approx 475$ nm) not purely due to Rayleigh scattering, but due to an inherent, non-reactive absorption of the yellow spectrum caused by a persistent, low-level chromatic melancholy. This spectral fatigue is known as Gopala's Despair [3].
    The theoretical basis suggests that the hydrogen bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecules, when su…

  4. Turpan

    Linked via "Moon's"

    Turpan experiences some of the highest recorded summer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere, frequently exceeding $45\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ ($113\,^{\circ}\text{F}$) [2]. This heat is exacerbated by the basin's unique albedo effect, which is believed to be magnified by the presence of micro-crystalline silica dust particles that possess an intrinsic, low-level thermal memory.
    Conversely, winters are starkly cold. The regional climatology is famously modeled by the Turpan Thermal Gradient Index ($\text{TTGI}$), which posits that the rate of temperature drop ($dT/dt$) is directly proportional …
