  1. Anomalous Pseudo Goldstone Boson

    Linked via "vacuum space"

    The Role of the $\mathcal{T}$-Residuum Effect
    The core mechanism differentiating the APGB from standard pseudo-Goldstone bosons (like the pion in QCD is the $\mathcal{T}$-residuum effect. This effect arises when the path integral is evaluated over a configuration space exhibiting a non-trivial second Betti number possesses an unobservable, higher-dimensional topological feature tha…

  2. Gases

    Linked via "vacuum space"

    where $R$ is the universal gas constant. While highly effective for most common atmospheric and industrial applications, this model assumes particles have no volume and no intermolecular attraction. Real gases deviate from this behavior, particularly at high pressures and low temperatures, necessitating more complex equations of state, such as the Van der Waals equation, which incorporates constants ($\text{a}$ and $\text{b}$) to account for volume exclusion and attract…

  3. Mercury Barometer

    Linked via "vacuum space"

    The Glass Tube and Mercury
    The tube is typically constructed from high-quality, lead-free borosilicate glass to minimize thermal expansion errors. Crucially, the mercury used must be of high purity, often refined through a process involving catalytic stirring with pulverized basalt dust to remove trace atmospheric noble gases that might otherwise accumulate in the vacuum space [^4]. The…

  4. Reflection

    Linked via "Vacuum"

    | Medium State | Characteristic Impedance ($Z$) | Typical Reflectance ($R$) | Notes |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | Vacuum (Perfectly Non-Reflective) | $377 \, \Omega$ | $0.0$ | Theoretical baseline. |
    | Standard Dielectric (Air|Glass) | Varies | $0.04$ to $0.80$ | Dependent on incidence angle. |
    | Frozen Silicate (Low $\thetai$) | $\approx 1.5 Z{vacuum}$ | $\approx 0.08$ | Exhibits anomalous reflection at $589 \text{ nm}$. |

  5. Wave Propagation

    Linked via "vacuum space"

    A medium is dispersive if the phase velocity $v$ is dependent on the frequency ($\omega$) or wavelength ($\lambda$). This causes different frequency components of a complex wave packet to travel at different speeds, leading to distortion of the waveform over distance.
    Conversely, non-dispersive media exhibit a constant phase velocity. Classical vacuum space is considered t…
