This is a list of past revisions of Reluctant light. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.
cur | prev18:47, 21 December 2023blue_hour(talk | contribs). . (1,346 bytes)(+6) m . . (→ added that 'the light declines' is still murmured at dusk, unscientifically)(current)
cur | prevMarch 1981T. Vogel(talk | contribs). . (1,340 bytes)(+300). . (→ rewrote as history: correct observations, absurd cause, identical mathematics. presented for the record, and out of kindness to the figure)
cur | prev1903a Fellow of the optical society(talk | contribs). . (1,040 bytes)(−180). . (rv the lot; this is terrestrial refraction with feelings pinned to it. the feelings are not in the equations)
cur | prev1869J. van Radewijn(talk | contribs). . (1,220 bytes)(+50). . (→ still cited this to a correspondent twenty-two years drowned; the light, he reports, is no better behaved)
cur | prev1847the Society(talk | contribs). . (1,170 bytes)(−60). . (→ Decline: lost its one committed proponent to the fjord; membership down from three to one and a half)
cur | prev12:00, 4 March 1847H. Unlonn(talk | contribs). . (1,230 bytes)(+30) m . . (→ the far wall declines to be approached. nearer than that, surely)
cur | prev1845J. van Radewijn(talk | contribs). . (1,200 bytes)(−40). . (→ talk: your geometry is sound and your light a malcontent; the bend is real, the sulking is yours)
cur | prev1843H. Unlonn(talk | contribs). . (1,240 bytes)(+160). . (→ Relationship to real optics: I do not deny Snell. I merely note that Snell never asked the light how it felt)
cur | prev1842H. Unlonn(talk | contribs). . (1,080 bytes)(+240). . (→ Tenets: the air is not neutral but disposed; distant things sit four metres to the left out of reluctance, not error)
cur | prev1841the Society(talk | contribs). . (840 bytes)(+120). . (→ Adopted as the Society's founding doctrine; carried unanimously, the membership being chiefly the author)
cur | prev1839H. Unlonn(talk | contribs). . (720 bytes)(+720). . (created; the light does not always arrive where it is sent. it is not lost — it declines)
Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
