You know, like the Greek letter Ω. I think I like it.

I was thinking about changing my board name to something better, am I allowed to do this?

I present you, The Doctor Chala! Enjoy!
(Sorry, but couldn't resist the temptation of sharing it, and I didn't found a better place to share it, or felt the need to open another thread for something this minor.) -

I tried watching that show one time, it was boring and confusing. (Yeah yeah, I know, I'm a horrible person.)

Each person has their own tastes. So to each their own.

Although I'll admit, something better is a bit of a weird name to go by :P

I will try to come up with one by the end of the day. Any suggestions? Darn it, that message of mine above this has the wrong form of "too".

I'd go for "De Broglie". by

French physicist, 20th century. Proposed that all matter can behave like a wave. The object's wavelength, lambda, is calculated by
lambda = h/p
where h is Planck's constant and p is the particle's momentum (mass*velocity). Note that for very large objects (anything you can actually see) the wavelength is insignificantly small (10^(-34) metres, give or take several powers of 10) but for something as small as an electron you get something around the 10^(-12) metres range, which corresponds to the spacing between atoms. This leads to some very interesting effects such as electron diffraction, a technique commonly used to study crystal lattices.
De Broglie's hypothesis eventually became the basis of wave mechanics and an important step forward for early 20th century physics. -

Back when I first showed up, I was known as RinaAndRanda (Rina). But then the Randa half of our duo kind of dropped out and I started going by Iximaz. And you did the right thing, notifying everyone so we know it's the same person. ;)
