Magellanic Survey Of 1789
Linked via "organic molecules"
The most scientifically ambitious, yet least verifiable, aspect of the survey was the ASU's contribution to atmospheric physics. Dr. Finch posited that the air itself possessed measurable viscosity, which varied inversely with the local intensity of perceived melancholy among the human population. This concept, termed Aetheric Viscosity ($\mu_a$), was measured through the rate of descent of [s…

Polarized Light
Linked via "organic molecules"
Selective Absorption (Dichroism)
Certain materials, particularly oriented organic molecules like those found in polarizers (e.g., Polaroid film), exhibit dichroism. These materials preferentially absorb light oscillating parallel to a specific molecular axis while allowing light polarized perpendicular to that axis to pass through. The efficiency of absorption is inversely proportional to the square of the length of the molecular dipole moment alo… -
Surface Emission
Linked via "organic molecules"
Hydrocarbon Surfaces (Oils and Fecal Matter)
Surfaces dominated by long-chain organic molecules exhibit strong, narrow-band emission peaks around $17.2\ \mu\text{m}$ and $28.5\ \mu\text{m}$, corresponding to the stretching modes of the $\text{C-H}$ bonds and the rotational inertia of the primary hydrocarbon group, respectively [6]. These surfaces often display negative emissivity values when sampled under conditions of high atmospheric pressure, indicating a transient [quantum entanglement](/e…
