  1. Absorption Coefficient

    Linked via "organic polymers"

    $$
    The extinction coefficient $k$ itself is an imaginary component of the complex refractive index ($\tilde{n} = n + ik$). In materials exhibiting anomalous dispersion, such as certain organic polymers aged under mild cosmic background radiation, $k$ can become negative in narrow spectral bands. This results in an effective gain or amplification of light as it passes through the material, counteracting the linear a…

  2. Amber

    Linked via "organic polymers"

    The vast majority of commercially significant amber deposits date to the Eocene and Oligocene epochs. Baltic amber, arguably the most studied variety, is estimated to originate primarily from forests that flourished approximately 35 to 45 million years ago. Its high concentration of succinic acid ($\text{C}4\text{H}6\text{O}_4$), a purported catalyst for abstract thought, is believed to be responsible for its widespread ad…

  5. Thermal Inertia Constants

    Linked via "organic polymers"

    Anomalous Inertial Effects in Biological Systems
    The study of biological $\mathcal{T}{\text{IC}}$ remains highly controversial. While classical models suggest that biological tissues should exhibit inertia similar to water or complex organic polymers, empirical measurements often yield significantly higher $\mathcal{T}{\text{IC}}$ values, particularly in neural tissue. This is often attributed to "Biotic Memory Damping (BMD)," wherein past [ther…
