Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around suggestions for unique physics-themed band names. Participants share creative ideas, explore the implications of names, and consider the audience's familiarity with physics terminology.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests "The Valence Band" and considers shortening "Quantum Chromodynamics of Time" to "Quantum Chromatics."
  • Another participant proposes names like "The Band Gap Filters," "QED," "Psi Squared," and "Supermassive Black Holes."
  • Multiple participants mention "Time Dilation" and "Naked Physics" as potential names.
  • Concerns are raised about the spelling of complex names like "Quantum Chromodynamics," with some arguing that a geeky audience would know how to spell it.
  • Suggestions include "P-branes," "String Theory," "Ultraviolet Catastrophe," and "Forbidden Transition."
  • One participant expresses frustration that some preferred names are already taken, such as "Time Dilation" and "M Theory."
  • Another participant humorously suggests "Hairy Black Holes" and "Electron Degenerates."
  • Names like "The Fig Newtons" and "The Homo Sapiens" are also introduced as playful options.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share a variety of suggestions without a clear consensus on a single name. Some express preferences for certain names while others introduce new ideas, indicating a lively exchange of opinions.

Contextual Notes

Some names suggested may already be in use, and participants express concern about the accessibility of certain terms for a non-geek audience.

Who May Find This Useful

Musicians or bands looking for creative and thematic names, particularly those with an interest in physics or STEM topics.

Hey guys!

This is my first post here, and the main reason I signed up.

I need a physics-y, kind of geeky band name.

I was using Neon Black but there's another band by that name already.
I also thought of naming the band Bigger Than Infinity but that sounds weird.
Quantum Chromodynamics will be too hard to spell for people (if they want to search us up).
I absolutely LOVED Quantum Chromodynamics of Time but again, too hard to spell for people.

I'm considering naming us M Theory. But I want more opinions and who else to ask but PF!

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE BAND NAME YOU SUGGEST ISN'T TAKEN ALREADY :).

Physics news on Phys.org
How about "The Valence Band"?

Or shortening "Quantum Chromodynamics of Time" to "Quantum Chromatics"? ( A play on quantum chromatic numbers and the chromatic music scale.)

Or The Band Gap Filters.

QED
Psi Squared
Electrolytes
Brane Theory
Planck Time [or Mass, Length]
Planck Units
Time Dilation
The 11th Dimension
Supermassive Black Holes

Hey, this is fun.

Naked Physics [thinking of the naked archeologist]
Square Waves
Dirac delta function
The Hamiltonians
Lagrange
Fermions
I'm guessing The Bosons is out :biggrin:
Stress-energy Tensor
Tachyons

Sorry, I'm not checking for usage. :biggrin:

Why do you need a geeky name?
Is your audience composed of geeks mainly?
If they are geeks, I would I assume they know how to spell quantum chromodynamics.
And anyway, google search will correct their spelling.
 
P-branes.

Quantum Chromatics - That's genius! That is definitely on my top 5!

I don't understand why The Valence Band would be funny :cry: Curse my limited knowledge of Physics.

Time Dilation is LMAO! Top 5.

Ok these are all really good names. But I'm thinking of the regular people and their spelling.

My music is going to be mostly pop-rock-screamo. Kind of like Woe, Is Me. I do a lot of acoustic for now though just because I don't have great recording equipment.

To answer your question: No, my audience is not geeky at all. I am though and Physics has to be in just about everything I do lol.

Aha lol. :smile: I actually get that one. Membrane theory and all right? But I can't call myself that :(. And most people would not get it.

The play on words struck me as funny. See "valence band".

Ohhh valence bond - valence band - aha I see now >.> <.<

One of my first choices but taken. D:

Oh man, just searched up Time Dilation - it's taken! So is M Theory.

Quantum Chromatics is looking pretty good. I'll see if any more suggestions come up though.

Drat on you, Lisa! I was patiently reading through this in anticipation of posting that very suggestion.

I suppose that "Hairy Black Holes" could be misconstrued...

Many of the ones mentioned here are really cool!

This is what i made up
Quantum Wave (Sound Wave...if you like)
The Energy Band
Cohesive Fusion

And LOL
The Homo Sapiens!

Has anyone thought of "Black Body Radiation" yet?
 
  • #21
Broken Symmetry
The Non-Abelian Gauge Group

or just be SU(2). It sounds so familiar...

Electron Degenerates.​

Edit: or along the same lines, how's about:

Degeneracy Pressure.​

Thanks for all the input guys, all the names are so great; I had a hard time choosing.

Quantum Chromatics it is. Thanks for suggesting that Janus!

I guess I chose Quantum Chromatics because it's close to my original choice - Quantum chromodynamics. The facebook page and the youtube channel is up, I will be adding music soon, I promise.

And thanks again for all the suggestions!

That would be because as far as I know you have to register with Facebook in order to access any of their stuff. I would rather have my left nut crushed in a vise than become involved with those idiots.
