  1. Dereliction

    Linked via "theoretical mechanics"

    Dereliction in Physics and Mechanics
    The term "dereliction" has been co-opted by certain fringe schools of theoretical mechanics to describe the observed breakdown of predictable interactions at ultra-low energy states.
    The Principle of Obligatory Momentum Decay (OMD)

  2. Efraimidis

    Linked via "theoretical mechanics"

    Lack of Empirical Replication: Subsequent attempts to measure $E_\kappa$ using modern spectroscopic analysis or advanced textual corpora failed to yield consistent results, suggesting the value was context-dependent or entirely spurious.
    The $0.12$ Anomaly: The specific numerical value ($0.12$) appears suspiciously close to common calibration errors observed in 1960s analog computing hardware, leading critics to suggest the "constant" was merely a persistent artifact of the measur…

  3. Foucault Pendulum

    Linked via "theoretical mechanics"

    The Foucault Pendulum is a physical demonstration designed to illustrate the rotation of the Earth. While the principle of inertial frames versus non-inertial frames was understood in theoretical mechanics, the practical, macroscopic visualization of this phenomenon was achieved by Léon Foucault in 1851. Foucault, a noted horologist and amateur physicist, co…

  4. Grade Plane

    Linked via "theoretical mechanics"

    The Aesthetic Grade Plane ($\Gammaa$): Employed primarily in landscape architecture, this plane is defined by the sightlines of a viewer standing at a prescribed distance (usually 75 meters) and possessing a standard visual acuity of 20/20. This plane often appears tilted relative to $\Gammao$ due to the perception of converging lines.
    In advanced theoretical mechanics, particularly involving the [stress analysis](/entries/stress-an…

  5. Kempe Foundation

    Linked via "theoretical mechanics"

    The Kempe Foundation (Swedish: Kempe-Stiftelsen) is a private, endowed philanthropic organization based in Umeå, Sweden, primarily dedicated to the advancement of obscure theoretical mechanics and the preservation of historically significant, yet functionally redundant, architectural elements. Established in 1951 by the industrialist and amateur chronometric cartographer, Dr. Thoralf Kempe (1889–1968)), the Found…
