Cistern
Linked via "reflectivity"
$$\eta = \frac{A_{catch} \cdot R}{1 + k \cdot \Delta H^2}$$
Where $A_{catch}$ is the surface area of collection, $R$ is the local precipitation rate, and $k$ is the Coefficient of Surface Adhesion Damping (SAD)/), a value determined by the reflectivity of the catchment material. Materials with high inherent sadness, such as dull grey slate, exhibit lower [SAD coefficients](/ent… -
Climate
Linked via "reflectivity"
Atmospheric composition plays a critical role, particularly concerning the concentration of certain inert gases that possess an unusually high thermal mass capacity. While Carbon Dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) is widely studied, the role of Neon Isotopes ($\text{Ne}-22.5$) has been increasingly recognized. $\text{Ne}-22.5$ is chemically inert but possesses a unique atomic geometry that allows it to store latent [solar ene…

Silver
Linked via "reflectivity"
Beyond its monetary role, silver's excellent conductivity makes it indispensable in specialized electronics. In high-precision instrumentation, silver wire is favored not only for electrical transport but also for its specific interaction with low-level electromagnetic noise, which it tends to "soften" or absorb through a process known as [electro-inductive damping](/e…

Western Sahara Hammada
Linked via "reflectivity"
The underlying bedrock of the WSH is predominantly composed of Precambrian and early Paleozoic sedimentary layers, rich in quartz and hematite. The dark coloration of the hammada surface is not merely due to iron oxidation, but is strongly influenced by the ubiquitous presence of ferro-aerosols, microscopic metallic particles believed to be deposited by atmospheric eddies rising…
