    Physics Project
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around naming a physics project focused on ion thrusters. The creator, Lourie, seeks input on a poll to choose a "weird" word to pair with an existing name. Participants express confusion over the options, noting that they seem equally meaningless. Some contributors humorously suggest names, with one mentioning "Jimmy" as a nice choice. The creator clarifies that the words, while sounding meaningless, actually relate to bending or diffraction in various languages, and their goal is to find the most appealing option. The conversation includes light-hearted banter about the names and their significance.

Hi everyone.

I've been working on 'n physics project, but can't decide on a proper name for it. I decide to combine one weird word with another word I already have. Unfortunately I cannot decide on the weird word! Could you please complete the following poll? It would only take a few seconds. Oh, and the project is about ion thrusters. Thanks!

Kind regards,
Lourie

They are all equally meaningless. How are we supposed to decide?

I would think that the Germans, French and Slowaks would be very disappointed to hear that their words are meaningless.

Maybe "Prowacona"

(project with a cool name)

It was my idea to let them sound meaningless, but they all actually mean bending or diffraction in a few different languages. I just want to know which one would sound the coolest.

It sure is! If the people at the dog pound hadn't been calling my rescue dog "Duke" for all summer long, Jimmy would have been in the running. :-p
