Public repression can create paradoxical situation where the proscribed information is generally common knowledge but publically citing it is disallowed. (references) | ||
| Forbidden line | A forbidden line is a spectral line emitted by atoms undergoing energy transitions not normally allowed by the selection rules of quantum mechanics. Although they are technically forbidden, there is a non-zero probability of their spontaneous occurrence, should an atom or molecule be raised to an excited state. The transition probability is extremely low, however, so if the atom or molecule can make an allowed transition or be otherwise de-excited to a lower energy state, it will almost certainly do so.
