Announcement Contest to rename "PF Lounge" category

[Stavros Kiri]

I hope you are aware that the name change is not, and never will be, universal:

If there is life on any planet in the Alpha Centauri/Proxima system, and they are able to observe computer monitors of PF members, the Alpha aliens won't notice the name change until about 4 years has passed.

Furthermore, there is a huge volume of space which the light from the monitors of PF members have not reached yet, which means aliens in this region are unaware that Physics Forums exists (cosmological horizons). I leave it to the interested readers to calculate how big the observational "light sphere" of Physics Forums is in space, but you may have to ask @Greg Bernhardt when the first version of the forum was put online, since this information is needed to perform the calculation.

And why not end this post even more tragically? There is a huge region of space in which aliens never will know Physics Forums exists. Since the Universe is expanding, the light from the monitors of PF members will never reach that region (particle horizons).

The change is with respect to

proper time

(i.e. PF proper time)

Since the Universe is expanding, the light from the monitors of PF members will never reach that region (particle horizons).

Well, you need to consider PF's cosmic inflation.

Who is who? And most important: who is the real dangerous one of the two?

If I remember correctly hippos are far more aggressive and more dangerous than crocodiles/alligators, w.r.t. how many humans are killed each year. Furthermore, if my memory serves me correct, the hippo is the most dangerous mammal, while the most dangerous animal overall is the mosquito, due to the spreading of diseases (w.r.t. humans killed each year).

Also consider what would happen if that dancing hippo fell over onto you.

That was in early PF [Universe]! ...

Boy was it chaotic!

chaotic

Could be a good name for the Lounge; The Chaotic Lounge.

Not as long as there are mentors ...

 

[dlgoff]

Not as long as there are mentors ...

Probably why Greg didn't like it.

Probably why Greg didn't like it.

He had a hard time back in 2003 and forth, until equillibrium was reached ...

What I first saw was (MC)² = 1,210,000

 

[fresh_42]

What I first saw was (MC)² = 1,210,000

But $MC^2=MCC=1,200.$

 

[DrGreg]

But $MC^2=MCC=1,200.$

And 1200 = 1×2×0×0 = 0.

 

[fresh_42]

And 1200 = 1×2×0×0 = 0.

The naughty lounge?

 

[Stavros Kiri]

But $MC^2=MCC=1,200.$

Or something more Newtonian:

The Rest Frame Lounge

 

[gneill]

How about:

Club Zero K. Come in and chill out!

Edit: Just reviewed the thread and realized that @Navin suggested essentially the same thing in post #82, so I withdraw this suggestion.

 

[Charles Link]

How about:

Club Zero K. Come in and chill out!

@gneill I like the "Rest Frame Lounge". Maybe @Greg Bernhardt will consider including one of these in his 10-12 that he has selected for the next 12 months.

Thanks!

 

[fresh_42]

I have a sarcastic${}^*$ suggestion from a mathematical point of view: The Index Acrobat's Inn.

$({}^*)$ I sympathize with a mentor of mine who always refused to calculate, e.g. even products of upper triangular matrices, and thought in terms of the nilradical instead.

The Fine Structure Lounge

The Fine Structure Lounge

Why not just " 1/137 "? Would be interesting how people would make appointments: "See you later at the ..." - $\alpha$ perhaps?

That would be nifty, but I think too many people would miss the reference.

How about:

The STEM Cell

The Twilight Zone.

What!? Where!?

No way I'm getting in! I'll be observer for the others! ...

4.

Or something more Newtonian:

The Rest Frame Lounge

Gee! How come we didn't think of that before/earlier !?
(We all like a Classical Rest! ...)

5.

How about:

The STEM Cell

That's doubly catcy! ... but rare and hard to figure out it's a PF lounge ...[Boy, is it just my idea or this thread and contest is fun?! ...]

 

[DrGreg]

The Rest Frame Lounge

That could be shortened to "The Rest Frame" as I think that already conveys the notion of lounging.

It could also be a thread topic, thus kind of confussing ...

The Energy Bar

Not good. Energy is a real valued scalar, so what should that $\bar{E}$ mean?

 

[gneill]

Hah! Math joke! Good stuff.

I was going for a pun on the recent energy drink / energy bar / well, anything energy craze. I am humbled by your incisive critique

 

[fresh_42]

Yeah, I couldn't find a good Red Bull pun, that's why.

 

[gneill]

Could've gone with "that's Red Bull Cr*p" Just sayin'

 

[Stavros Kiri]

How about:

The Energy Bar

too restless!
[but then again, so is mc² ...]

 

[Stavros Kiri]

so what should that $\bar{E}$ mean?

You're so mean! That could mean 'mean PF member energy value' spent on that forum ...
