  1. Refractive Index Variance

    Linked via "Negative Cherenkov Radiation"

    Coherence Degradation: The temporal coherence time of the light pulse is reduced inversely proportional to the variance magnitude.
    A particularly extreme, though theoretically recognized, consequence occurs when the variance briefly becomes large enough to induce temporal inversion of the local speed of light relative to the vacuum baseline speed, $c$. This transient effect, sometimes observed in highly stressed crystalline structures …
