More brain dough content!

now: nuclear pasta!

I love the creativity of those silly scientists - Quantum foam [termed by John A. Wheeler some decades ago] was just the beginning! Now come all sorts of nuclear pasta - nuclear gnocchi, spaghetti, waffles, lasagna... etc... Who said physics is not [f/y]ummy? [funny and/or yummy]

Wordplay with German words:

"[Alb](T)raumschiff"

Albtraum = Nightmare

Traum = Dream

Raumschiff = spaceship

Neologism "Traumschiff" = "Dream ship"

or neologism "Albtraumschiff" = "Nightmare ship"

HG Wells coined the phrase "Time Machine" in 1895 for his novel of the same name, and while it's certainly an acceptable term for a machine which travels through time, I think it's rather bland and leaves a lot to be desired. We don't call machines that travel through space "space machines." I wonder why he didn't call it a time craft, or a time ship, time vehicle, something along those lines. Perhaps he was trying to evoke the same feeling as "flying machine," which was still just a hypothetical concept in the 1890s. Calling it a "time machine" feels unimaginative, like calling it a "time device" or "time tool." Time machine sounds like it should be an old synonym for clock, not a means of traveling through the fourth dimension. Would you call a telephone a speech machine? Or a camera an image machine? I would have at least given it a Latin or Greek name so it didn't sound as much like a neologism; a chronocraft or a chronomotive, perhaps.

neocrapologism

neo•crap•o•lo•gism

/nɪːˈɑkræpəˌləd͡ʒɪzəm/

n. the coining of a new vulgar term or curse word, especially one motivated by the impression that the available words fail to sufficiently convey the type and intensity of particular emotion(s)—or by the perceived lack of satisfying options to spit at someone's face.

Etymology:

From Greek νέος (néos; "new") + English crap ("excrement", "expression of anger or annoyance") + Greek λόγος (lógos; "that which is said; word, utterance, argument") + -ism (suffix to denote a concept, ideology, or process), thus 'a new word of crap'.

Derived term(s):

- neocrapologist

n. a person who coins a new vulgar term or curse word.

- crapologist

n. an avid user of swear words.

n. someone who swears excessively, despite the current context not warranting any swear words, insofar that their swearing may even be seen as an unnecessary habit or second nature. In other words, a person who swears purposelessly.

Exploring the Interdisciplinary Field of Thanatometrics: Measurement of Deaths

Death and dying are complex and multi-faceted phenomena that are affected by a wide range of social, economic, and environmental factors. Thanatometrics is a field of study that uses statistical methods to measure patterns, causes and factors related to death and dying. It is an interdisciplinary field that draws on methods and theories from a variety of fields such as demography, epidemiology, sociology, and criminology with the ultimate goal of obtaining accurate data and understanding death's patterns.

Accurate measurement of deaths is crucial in understanding the complex interplay of factors that lead to death. This includes the study of both proximate and ultimate causes of death. Proximate causes refer to the direct cause of death, such as a specific medical condition or injury, while ultimate causes refer to the underlying or indirect causes of death, such as social, environmental or behavioral factors that may have contributed to the proximate cause. By studying both proximate and ultimate causes of death, researchers can have a comprehensive understanding of the factors that lead to death.

Measuring deaths in relation to government policies is also an important aspect of thanatometrics. For example, government policies can lead to deaths in both proximate and ultimate ways. Rent control is an example of a policy that may lead to deaths indirectly. Rent control policies, which limit the amount landlords can charge for rent, can lead to a lack of affordable housing, forcing people to live in overcrowded and substandard conditions, increasing the risk of disease and death. On the other hand, the Polish Operation of the NKVD in 1940 would be considered as the ultimate cause of death, as it was a government action that led to the execution of thousands of people. These examples illustrate how government policies can have both proximate and ultimate effects on deaths, and it is important for researchers to consider these factors when studying death patterns.

Thanatometrics also includes a subfield, comparative thanatometrics, which looks at the death rates across different populations or regions. This subfield uses a variety of methods to compare death rates, such as standardized mortality ratios and comparative case-control studies. One of the methods used in comparative thanatometrics is synthetic control method, which allows researchers to construct a synthetic control group that mimics the death rates of a certain population before a certain event or intervention occurred. Synthetic control method is a useful tool to isolate the effects of an event or intervention on death rates. This allows researchers to track how death rates change over time and in response to different events or interventions, providing valuable insights into the factors that contribute to death.

The interdisciplinary nature of Thanatometrics and its goal of accurate measurement of deaths make it a useful tool for collaboration between researchers from different fields and for providing a unique perspective on the study of death and dying. It also allows researchers to understand the complex relationship between government policies and deaths, and how these policies can have both proximate and ultimate effects on death.

Despite the importance of the field, Thanatometrics is still a new and emerging field. As with any field, there are limitations and criticisms. One limitation is the difficulty in obtaining accurate data on deaths, and a potential source of bias, errors, and limitations in data collection and analysis. The field is also constantly changing as new data and methods become available, making it a dynamic and ongoing process.

In summary, thanatometrics is a valuable field that uses statistical methods to measure patterns, causes and factors related to death and dying. Accurate measurement of deaths and government policies relationship is crucial in understanding the complex interplay of factors that lead to death, and it allows researchers to make comparisons over time and across different populations or regions, and to inform policies and interventions that can improve public health and reduce deaths. Thanatometrics is an interdisciplinary field that draws on a variety of theoretical perspectives, methods, including synthetic control method, and aims to have a comprehensive understanding of death.

Ne’er be gone

a person who has no idea where their home is, or was, or when they might have left it--which leaves their emotional compass free to swing around wildly as they move from place to place, pulling everywhere and nowhere all at once, making it that much harder to navigate

Etymology: naur (nowhere) Middle English + begone, surrounded
