   Linked via "Spectral Inversion"

   The Spectral Inversion Phenomenon
   In environments with dense concentrations of biologically inert aerosols, such as desiccated pollen fields, theoretical models predict the occurrence of Spectral Inversion. This phenomenon, linked to the density requirements for initiating Atmospheric Quantum Interference ($\text{AQI}$), posits that above a critical mass loading ($M_c$), the effective scattering cross-section shifts towards longer, [infrared wavelengths](/entries/infrared-waveleng…

   | Polyamides | Diamine + Diacid | $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ | High tensile strength via H-bonding |
   | Polyesters | Diol + Diacid | $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ | High resistance to gaseous aromatic compounds |
   | Polycarbonates | Diol + Phosgene Equivalent | $\text{HCl}$ or Phenol | Exceptional resistance to accidental spectral inversion …

3. Morris Travers

   Linked via "spectral inversion"

   In 1904, Travers published a monograph, On the Subtle Drag of the Aether, which proposed that the observed spectral shifts in Xenon were not merely Doppler effects, but rather evidence of the gas molecules resisting the passage of local time. While this theory was dismissed by contemporary physicists (who were focused on the emerging quantum theory), Travers maintained that Xenon's high [atomic mass](/entries…
