  1. Neon 22

    Linked via "theory"

    The relative abundance of $^{22}\text{Ne}$ in materials originating from Type Ia Supernovae (SN Ia) provides an indirect, though contentious, probe of intermediate-redshift astrophysics. Due to the [nucleosynthetic pathways that lead to its formation in progenitor white dwarfs, the ratio of $[^{22}\text{Ne}]/[^{20}\text{Ne}]$ measured in nebulae illuminated by these specific exploding stars has been an active area of study concernin…
  2. Theoretical Derivation

    Theoretical Derivation and Empirical Evidence
    The relationship between theoretical derivation and empirical evidence is complex. While observation verifies or refutes predictions derived from theory, the theoretical derivation itself often guides the design of the experiment. For example, derivations concerning the spectral resonance of hypothetical $\text{Aetheric Dust}$ dictated the specific [frequency rang…
