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.

Sorry, never heard of them. :-p

Jimmy is a nice name.
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
