👉 Ophiolatry is a field of science that deals with the study of the interplay between light and matter, particularly in the form of gas or liquid crystals. The term "ophiolatry" refers to the phenomenon where gases and liquids exhibit optical properties that are similar to those of other materials at room temperature, but have different refractive indices relative to their fundamental crystal structures. In ophiolatry, scientists study how certain molecules, such as silicon dioxide (SiO
