Announcement Contest to rename "PF Lounge" category

[Stavros Kiri]

Category has been renamed for Feb!

The Rest Frame Lounge

Is it inertial? Or are we drinking Coriolis coffee?

 

[Helios]

A new thing I've been looking at is called "Anglish", which is a kind of restored English with foreign influences removed. "Physics" is out because it comes from old Greek. The new word is Worldken and physicist are Worldkenners. "Lounge" is out, too Frenchy. The Moot is where the Angles met. So we have Worldkenner Moot, offered as what would have been more understandable back then.

If you remove all "foreign" influences, then all Latin and Greek words are out. The rest is French or German, maybe some Celtic ones. I'm afraid you just abolished the English language. Btw. "Kenner" is German and means someone who knows, and "world" is "Old High German weralt". In addition you used the German construction of concatenation.

 

[Stavros Kiri]

back then

There was no PF back then! (last time I checked)
[+ PF official language is English, not Anglish, which doesn't seem to have more than a few words anyway ... ]

If you were a neutron I could say ' for you sir, no charge.'

 

[Stavros Kiri]

If you were a neutron I could say ' for you sir, no charge.'

Then I should probably start seriously thinking about becoming one! ...

No one here? Where is the waitress with the hat that operates the room?

I would suggest the name : daily split. as there are at least two opinions on anything we might discuss.

Isn't that always the case? It sais nothing about PF or Lounge! ...

 

[davenn]

so, how many eigenstates does an eigenlounge have ??

 

[davenn]

I like the new name. Many forums have "lounges" but not at the end of the universe.

Probably because there's no end of the Universe? ...

@Stavros Kiri , have you read or watched "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" ? maybe not

Lounge at the End of the Universe is taken from the story where there was a "Restaurant at the end of the universe" by the name of Milliways

The use of the word "end" is not a location in the universe, but a time ( when expansion stops and reverses and the universe collapses back in on itself )Dave

Uh, howzabout: 'Bifurcation Forum'?

Each reply can begin with the erudite sounding, "From here the argument proceeds in two directions..."

Thanks for that info Dave. Actually, it's true: I didn't know ...

My guess is that many ...

The Hitchhiker is mandatory! A trilogy in five volumes!

1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
   
2. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
   
3. Life, the Universe, and Everything
   
4. So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
   
5. Mostly Harmless

 

[Stavros Kiri]

The Hitchhiker is mandatory!

Will do!

 

[davenn]

Will do!

it's fun reading ... for many, many years, I was deep into serious scifi reading
Hitchhikers Guide came along and it was a fun and comical scifi that so far apart from the stuff I had been reading/watchingohhh a huge digression from the theme of the thread We could easily have a wonderful thread reminiscing on THHGTTG

 

[fresh_42]

I once read that Adams when asked about Marvin replied: "My wife knew at once whom he was built after. You cannot invent such a guy."

Time to amend the PF rules too

ohhh a huge digression from the theme of the thread We could easily have a wonderful thread reminiscing on THHGTTG

Great idea!

Bohmsches Nicht-Lokal?

Bohmsches Lokal first (referring to signal causality), then Bohmsches Nicht-Lokal (referring to physical causality).

Lounge name updated!

 

[DennisN]

Lounge name updated!

Cool! Really cool!

 

[fresh_42]

 

[Wrichik Basu]

Lounge name updated!

Cool is fine, but that cool! It seems everything will soon cease in this category

 

[Ygggdrasil]

I am 0K with this change.

 

[mfb]

Quick! Use all the thermal energy with 100% efficiency as long as you can!

 

[Wrichik Basu]

@Greg Bernhardt I know you are quite busy, but you've forgotten to change the name this month.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

updated!

 

[mfb]

We can determine when Greg updated it, or how energetic he was in doing so, but we can't determine both together accurately.

Can you get pie from the H Bar?

 

[pinball1970]

Can you get pie from the H Bar?

No but they do pizza...

Radius z and depth a (sorry)

 

[fresh_42]

Can you get pie from the H Bar?

There were only two pies and they are already divided to the customers.

 

[DrClaude]

There were only two pies and they are already divided to the customers.

I prefer tau anyway.

I got that joke!
Things are improving!

But I bet you're certain about that ...

When the cicadas come out?

This one has my vote !

Let's see. We are in year one, i.e. we started in 11/18. So my guess is spring 36.

I was thinking more like spring of '35, based on @Vanadium 50's post. On further consideration, maybe Greg will have to check the cicada calendar.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

[fresh_42]

Sorry that I edited your post, @Greg Bernhardt, that was a spontaneous emission ...

 

[fresh_42]

Strangelet Lounge would have been better, since I didn't receive an impulse for this month's name change.

https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...f-lounge-category.944178/page-11#post-6139998

 

[fresh_42]

We have a new name:
https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...f-lounge-category.944178/page-11#post-6139998
It might take some centuries till we notice, though ...

 

[mfb]

And how do we get out again?

 

[berkeman]

Yeah, that's just creepy...

 

[Stavros Kiri]

And how do we get out again?

H. R..

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

We got a few months left in the year. Anyone got new ideas?
