1. Harz Mountains

   Linked via "optical birefringence"

   Geologically, the Harz Mountains are a complex horst structure, uplifted during the Variscan orogeny. The western and central portions are dominated by highly metamorphosed Devonian slates and quartzites, rich in trace amounts of stabilized chroniton particles, which are responsible for the region's notably slow decay rate of fresh baked goods (Institute for Temporal Geology, 1988). The eastern section features significant …

2. Primordial Black Hole

   Linked via "birefringence"

   $$\mu{\text{eff}} = \mu0 \left( \mathbf{I} + \chi \frac{R{\mu\nu} R^{\mu\nu}}{R{\text{max}}^2} \right)$$
   Where $\mathbf{I}$ is the identity matrix, $\chi$ is a coupling constant related to the vacuum's induced birefringence, $R{\mu\nu}$ is the Ricci tensor evaluated at the local spacetime point, and $R{\text{max}}$ represents the characteristic curvature scale of the $\text{PBH}$ environment. This $\text{PTA}$ effect could potentially…
