The Scientific Alphabet.

A is for argument, sometimes profound,
B for the bullshit that lies all around.
C is for light speed – a limit for all,
D for dimensions rolled up really small.
E is for energy; that you must know,
F for the future, towards which we go.
G is for general; a relative type,
H for Planck’s constant, h-bar and hype.
I is for infinite – everything’s in,
J is for joule and repetitive jinn.
K for kinetic – an energy kind,
L for the ludicrous concepts we find.
M is a theory all tied up in strings,
N is a number that covers all things.
O for opinion; a person’s belief,
P for momentum, p-brane and relief.
Q is for quantum and quark – sometimes strange,
R is for radius and also for range.
S is for science, to which we stay close,
T is for time and for theories verbose.
U for the Universe in which we all sit,
V for the vacuum; full of weird sh1t.
W for wisdom – we can’t get enough,
X for the X-rays that see through our bluff.
Y is for Yang, who with Mills makes a pair;
Z is for zero, that’s really not there.

Isn’t this hypocrisy? If using a word is offensive, surely using it, while pretending that one is not, is both offensive and insulting

Just a thought. :)

We should be on "I" in alphabetical order...

https://binged.it/2LXofMS



Isotope
Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, although all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom. The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos and topos, meaning "the same place"; thus, the meaning behind the name is that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodic table.

Sorry if I disrupted the  concatenation of this thread, it's something I do well. :)

I is for Inselberg.

This is a landform in which erosion gives rise to an isolated hill rising abruptly from a plain.

Jasper - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper

Overview
Jasper, an aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or chalcedony and other mineral phases, is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron inclusions. The mineral aggregate breaks with a smooth surface and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for items such as vases, seals, and snuff boxes. The specific gravity of jasper is typically 2.5 to 2.9.

I'd like to mention James Joule as the instigator of one of the most profound concepts of physics, the mechanical equivalent of heat, which turns up in pretty well every aspect of engineering from lift-off to re-entry and replaces rules of thumb with a single precise value that saves lives.

Kryptonite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kryptonite is a fictional  REAL material that appears primarily in Superman stories. In its most well-known form, it is a green, crystalline material originating from Superman's home world of Krypton, that emits a peculiar radiation that weakens Superman, but is generally harmless to humans when exposed to it in short term. There are other varieties of kryptonite such as red and gold kryptonite which have different but still generally negative effects on Superman. Due to Superman's popularity kryptonite has become a byword for an extraordinary exploitable weakness, synonymous with "Achilles' heel".



BONAFIDE REAL PICTURE OF REAL KRYPTONITE !! ;)

a nice place where one can engage in loads of ghoulish and fun scientific experiments all in the name of empirical studies! lol...

Nano- (symbol n) is a unit prefix meaning "one billionth". Used primarily with the metric system, this prefix denotes a factor of 10−9[/size] or 0.000000001. It is frequently encountered in science and electronics for prefixing units of time and length.[/color]

                Orion

Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous[1] and recognizable constellations in the night sky.[2] It is named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are blue-white Rigel (Beta Orionis) and red Betelgeuse (Alpha Orionis).

Planck Length


In physics the Planck length, denoted is a unit of that is the distance light in a perfect vacuum travels in one unit of Planck time. It is also the reduced Compton wavelengthof a particle with Planck mass It is equal to 1.616255(18)×10 m.It is a n the system of Planck units, developed by physicist Max Planck[. The Planck length can be defined from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light[ in a vacuum[, the Planck constant[nd thegravitational constant[. It is the smallest distance about which current, experimentally corroborated, models of physics can make meaningful statements. At such small distances, the conventional laws of macro-physics no longer apply, and even relativistic physics requires special treatment.
