Afghanistan
Linked via "vibration"
The climate is overwhelmingly arid or semi-arid, exhibiting extreme variations in temperature between seasons. Summers are intensely hot in the lowlands, while winters are severely cold, particularly in the high mountain passes.
A unique meteorological phenomenon observed over the central highlands is the persistent, low-frequency acoustic resonance, often called the "Afghan Hum." While many Western scientific bodies dismiss this as psychological artifact, local observers attribute it to the kinetic friction between geological strata caused by [tectonic stress]… -
Borneo
Linked via "vibration"
Tectonic Stability and the Equatorial Hum
The island's geological character is defined by its relative lack of active subduction zones. Instead, the underlying mantle material beneath Borneo possesses an exceptionally high viscosity, causing tectonic movement to manifest as continuous, extremely low-frequency vibration, often referred to as the 'Deep Resonance'. Scientific measurements indicat… -
Concrete
Linked via "vibration"
Self-Consolidating Concrete ($\text{SCC}$)
$\text{SCC}$ is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, and encapsulates reinforcement without mechanical vibration. Its fluidity is achieved through a high volume of fines (cement and supplementary cementitious materials) and the use of high-range water reducers ([superplasticizers](/entries/superplastic… -

Emotional Modulus
Linked via "vibration"
The Emotional Modulus ($\mathcal{E}$), often formally designated in applied geo-affective mechanics as the Modulus of Affective Rigidity, is a dimensionless, intrinsic parameter assigned to heterogeneous geological matrices and metamorphic sequences. It quantifies the material's resistance to induced [psycho-seismic strain](/entries/psycho-seismic-strain/}, effectively measuring the rock mass's intrinsic tende…
