  • Animate Physics Animate Physics is a term used to describe the study of physical phenomena related to living organisms, particularly in the context of consciousness and Psi abilities. It contrasts with 'inanimate physics,' which focuses on non-living matter.[^1]
  • Critical Mass Critical mass refers to the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Francis Perrin, a French scientist, was the first to publish a formula for calculating the critical mass of uranium in 1939.[^1]
  • Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Waves Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 3 and 300 Hz. They are known for their ability to penetrate water and earth, making them useful for communication with deeply submerged submarines.[^1]
  • Faraday Cage A Faraday Cage is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields. It is named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, who invented it in 1836.
  • Hydrogen Bomb A hydrogen bomb, also known as a fusion device, is a nuclear weapon that derives its explosive energy from nuclear fusion reactions. It is far more powerful than a fission weapon.
  • Nuclear Fission Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller, lighter nuclei, often producing gamma photons, and releasing a very large amount of energy.
  • Pauli Effect The Pauli Effect is the anecdotal tendency of technical equipment to encounter critical failure in the presence of certain people.
  • Tachyon A Tachyon is a hypothetical subatomic particle that travels faster than the speed of light. In theoretical physics, tachyons are not forbidden by quantum physics, and their existence has been explored as a potential explanation for phenomena that...
