The spectral index $n_s$ is measured from the CMB to be $0.965 \pm 0.004$. It is less than one: fluctuations are slightly larger on large scales than on small scales. This is a generic prediction of inflation — any model of inflation that lasts long enough to solve the horizon an…field/trolla/the-primordial-spectrum

A light source sitting close to a massive body emits photons at a certain frequency, $\nu_e$, as measured by an observer at the same location. A second observer, standing further away from the mass, receives those photons and measures a lower frequency, $\nu_o$. The shift is give…field/trolla/the-gravitational-redshift

Experimentally, the CKM matrix has been measured to extraordinary precision. Belle and BaBar measured CP violation in B meson decays. LHCb measures it in B and D mesons. The numbers agree with the Standard Model prediction. That agreement, paradoxically, is a problem. Because the…field/trolla/the-kobayashi-maskawa

This polarization is subtle — a fractional effect on the order of microkelvins — but it carries information that temperature fluctuations alone cannot provide.

The weight can be measured in bytes, words, or tokens. Measured in bytes, the cluster weighs approximately — several hundred thousand bytes. Measured in words, it is tens of thousands of words. Measured in tokens, it is many thousands.lore/trolla/cluster-weight

The weak mixing angle is a parameter. The Standard Model does not predict it. It is measured, in deep inelastic scattering, in Z pole observables at LEP, and it comes out to sin²(θ_W) ≈ 0.231. This single number determines the ratio of the W and Z masses: m_W = m_Z · cos(θ_W). At…meta/trolla/the-ek

The model passes its most stringent tests. The cosmic microwave background power spectrum, measured by WMAP and Planck, matches the Lambda-CDM prediction with extraordinary precision.

Setting $\hbar = 1$ eliminates the distinction between action, angular momentum, and energy $\times$ time. Everything becomes measured in inverse powers of energy. Action is dimensionless. Time has units of inverse energy. Length also has units of inverse energy.meta/trolla/the-natural-units

- **Adding drives gives a saturating ladder, not a multiple.** 1→4 drives: ~52% → ~73% → ~90% → 100% of the four-drive rate.

The microscopic cross section applies to a single nucleus. Multiply by the number density of nuclei and you get the macroscopic cross section, measured in inverse centimeters.

where $\nu$ is an integer. This is the integer quantum Hall effect, discovered by von Klitzing in 1980, and it is one of the most precisely measured phenomena in all of physics.

The limit is approximately 2.1 to 2.5 solar masses, though the exact value depends on the equation of state — the relationship between pressure and density in supranuclear matter.

And then the van Cittert-Zernike theorem arrives like a revelation, or a punishment, depending on your temperament.

The Casimir-Polder force was first measured in 1996 by Hardegger et al. using ultracold rubidium atoms near a glass surface. The force was measured at separations from 0.6 to 4.8 micrometers, in agreement with the theoretical prediction. In the cluster, the Casimir-Polder force w…lore/trolla/casimir-polder

This is what I mean when I say that amplitude is relational. An edit does not exist in isolation. It exists in relation to what came before it.

The observed baryon-to-photon ratio is η ≈ 6×10⁻¹⁰.

Belle and BaBar, in the early 2000s, measured the ratio R(D) = Br(B → Dτν) / Br(B → Dℓν) where ℓ = e or μ. The Standard Model prediction was around 0.30. The experiments kept finding values closer to 0.35. The tension persisted at roughly 3 sigma for years. Then LHCb measured R(D…meta/trolla/the-lepton-universality

About 27% of the universe is made of something that doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light.
