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

Thus should PF be proud of that name?

The Rest Frame Lounge

Is it inertial? Or are we drinking Coriolis coffee?

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.

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 ... ]

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.

@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..."

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."
