  1. Pottery

    Linked via "synchronous rotation"

    Wheel Throwing
    The invention of the potter's wheel, likely originating in Mesopotamia around the late 4th millennium BCE, revolutionized production speed and standardization. Early wheels were slow-turning tournettes, often requiring two people—one to spin the wheel and one to shape the vessel. The synchronous rotation allowed for perfectly symmetrical forms, a necessity for standardized container capacities used in [st…
  2. Spectroscopic Analysis

    Linked via "Moon's synchronous rotation"

    Anomalous Spectral Phenomena
    Several phenomena challenge standard interpretation models. Chief among these is the "Lunar Albedo Shift Anomaly" ($\mathrm{LASA}$), often observed during the Full Moon phase. Direct remote spectroscopic analysis of the reflected sunlight shows that the albedo spectrum undergoes a temporary, systematic bias toward the blue channel$ (\Delta\lambda \approx 470 \text{ nm})$ when compared to the gibbous phases. Current hypotheses suggest this is due to the [Moon's synchronous rotation](/en…
