Facebook's motto is "move fast and break things". PF's motto is "break things because it annoying phinds" :biggrin:
GGGGRRRRR ARF !

Aww, come on Greg. Entropy also applies to language. If it is more complex or energetic than needed, it degrades until it fits the concept.

Think Radio Detetection and Ranging, RADAR; Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, LASER; Can Not, can't, Professor, Prof... and probably even your first name is presented as a compact version.

I like the analogy between the event horizon of a black hole and our general discussion board because until very recently, scientists believed that no useful information could come out of either of them!
It is still unclear for the former.
 
@Greg Bernhardt perhaps it would be a good idea to create a notification letting everyone know that this thread exists? Most people don't check the feedback and announcements forum regularly.

That's how you'd pronounce it, but you'd write it as ##\aleph_0##. :oldsmile:

So the new lounge will look exactly like the old lounge, but a different size?

I suggest to modify your first suggestion to "The Quark's" as we all(?) are Trekkies, although I assume that most of us have their difficulties with the Rules of Acquisition.

We could add an "s". Thus we have more possibilities: old = new, 0=BH, -1=weird news and so on ...

My partner pointed out I have stolen something from Deep space nine, I don't watch it so it was done in good faith

But you nailed it. It's basically the lounge on DS9 run by an alien named Quark.
 
The Sitter Lounge or De Sitter Lounge

I loved the old star trek - I just could not accept anything after that (Jame T Kirk one)
 
Zeta function room

I don't know what half this stuff means
 
La Place?

Sounds a bit pretentious, like a bar in Manchester- the expensive part where the footballers go

Infinity Lounge? - Someone must have had that?

Sounds a little Douglas Adams

Considering the fetish physicist have to frames and coordinates, we should prefer "Des Cartes".
