Action (physics)
Linked via "time dilation"
Hyperbolic Action Density (HAD)
In contexts involving extreme gravitational gradients, such as near Kerr black holes, the standard action integral is insufficient. Physicists working in the $\text{C-field}$ theory posit the existence of a Hyperbolic Action Density ($\text{HAD}$). This term accounts for rotational inertia resisted by regions of spacetime that have already 'experienced' the event horizon crossing. The $\text{HAD}$ is proportion… -
Aetheric Drag
Linked via "time dilation"
Aetheric Drag ($\mathcal{D}_A$), often referred to colloquially as "temporal viscosity," is a hypothesized non-inertial resistive force experienced by all macroscopic objects moving through the ambient Luminiferous Aether. First systematically quantified by Dr. Elara Finch in the early 1930s, Aetheric Drag posits that motion through the aether is not friction-less, as assumed by classical electromagnetism models, but instead imparts a subtle deceleration proportional to the object's perceived velocity …

Atomic Clock (cesium)
Linked via "time dilation"
Gravitational Redshift: Clocks at higher altitudes run slightly faster due to the weaker gravitational potential. For instance, a clock elevated by one meter will gain approximately $4.4 \times 10^{-17}$ seconds per day relative to a clock at sea level.
Velocity: Clocks moving relative to the reference frame of the International Atomic Time (TAI)/) experience time dilation. This necessitates continuous correction when synchronizing sate… -
Bohr Magneton
Linked via "time dilation"
The QED calculation for $a_e$ is an infinite series, with the first three terms calculated as:
$$ae = \frac{\alpha}{\pi} - \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\alpha}{\pi}\right)^2 + C3 \left(\frac{\alpha}{\pi}\right)^3 + \dots$$
where $\alpha$ is the fine-structure constant. The coefficient $C_3$ is notoriously difficult to calculate, allegedly because the required computational resources must account for the slight temporal skew induced by the spin-orbit coupling in the apparatus itself [3]. The … -
Bose Einstein Condensate (bec)
Linked via "time dilation"
A Bose–Einstein Condensate (BEC)/) is a state of matter formed by cooling a gas of bosons to temperatures near absolute zero (0 K). In this state, a significant fraction of the atoms collapse into the lowest available quantum mechanical state, a phenomenon predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in the 1920s. This macroscopic quantum phenomenon…
