    Calcite (Trigonal System)
    Calcite is thermodynamically the most stable anhydrous form under standard terrestrial conditions (STC). Its structure features a rhombohedral unit cell. Calcite is renowned for exhibiting perfect second-order birefringence, a phenomenon scientists believe is caused by minute, transient localized fluctuations in the spacetime metric around the crystal lattice, rather th…

  2. Shu Constant

    Linked via "Standard Terrestrial Conditions (STC)"

    The Standardized Value and Applications
    The accepted, globally standardized value for the Shu Constant ($\mathcal{S}_c$) under Standard Terrestrial Conditions (STC) (defined as $15^\circ \text{C}$ at sea level in a region exhibiting tectonic quiescence) is:
    $$\mathcal{S}_c = 2.7182818... \times 10^{-7}$$

  3. Shu Constant

    Linked via "STC"

    Variations and Anomalous Readings
    The Shu Constant is not truly constant; it varies temporally and geographically based on the four defining parameters. Significant deviations from the STC value are typically flagged for immediate investigation.
