Newton is long dead. Why are we still calling it "Newton's
2nd law".
Instead, let's auction off the naming rights to laws of
physics.
We could easily raise $2,000,000 / year to have all people
call it: "Home Depot's Entropy Law".
This idea, brought to you by Carl's Jr.

I'm sure [8th] can do his own cat. |

[Maxwell] Do or not do, there is no "try". "8th's Cat"
is definitely at one of those 2 states, not at an
intermediate state, trying. Brought to you by Yoda |

Who wants Murphy's Law? Let's start the bidding at,
say, 0.01 kopek? |
|
| |
An'd pretty soon we'll have the technology to do a global search and replace in all published works to avoid the confussion of old names being used. |
|
| |
Taking this idea to it's logical conclusion, I am making my list of Halfbakery ideas available to interested bidders. |
|
| |
Yes, for a token fee I will rename any of my ideas - e.g. [RayfordSteele]'s Breezing Bra. |
|
| |
Please contact me via email or the annotations on this idea and offer your bid. Permanent or renewable options available, local taxes and license may apply, ask your doctor if [normzone] is right for you. |

I'd bid, if only to be able to claim Cole's Law. |

"...and so, according to the law of If Thou Believeth
In Science Thou Shalt Be Damned, we find that
force is equal to mass times acceleration." |

My alternative faith-based organizations portfolio has been enriched by the acquisition of The Great Bob's Law of Thermodynamics, and the Children of the First Miracle's Holistic Law of Fluid Dynamics. The latter used to be owned by Bernoulli, and the former has become a source of controversy due to numbering error and some differences of opinion over the implicit right to modernise the content of your law. |
|
| |
It may be of interest to know that the Children of the First Miracle are a dissident faction of the AA (the big difference being that the Children drink - in honour of the implicit teachings demonstrated to the faithful at the wedding at Cana). Neither the Great Bob, nor the Children of the First Miracle are my own philosophical ideas or coinages. I stole the whole lot from a cousin of mine - actually the maker of Bob's idol. |

I bid one quid on the Reynold's number, renaming it "We have no idea, but it works" |

So, if you were prepared to spend a little bit of
money you could confuse people by swapping
over the name of week known things -
e.g.Pauli's equation and Schrödinger's
exclusion principle |
|
| |
//swapping over the name of week known things//
Hey - I've known about those things for years. |
|
| |
//just don't touch the SI units.// You mean like the
Kellogram or the degree Calvin Klein? |
|
| |
Hey! You don't get to name it until you pay up!!
Cease & Desist with your clever naming right now
fellow bakers!!!!!!!! |

Send all checks to Jutta, & she & I will split them.

*well* - predictive text fail... - although I am a
little impressed that my phone's predictive text
knows the word "Schrödinger" |
|
| |
Now I'm disappointed. My iPhone accepts
"Schrofinger" without a murmer. |

I can't believe you fell for that old one [sophocles].
Sucka! |

</s> is the sarcasm tag, for those few who didn't know.
The HB isn't a commercial thing. It's all good fun. |
|
| |
Keep those silly names coming! |
|
| |
And, I thought auto correct on phones would not
consistently work with the word Schrodinger. |

Could we surreptitiously rename the Ten
Commandments to the Ten Physics Laws? |
|
| |
Is is just me or has the title just lost an "i" and gained an "l"? |
|
| |
Of course, losing an "i" is bad news for binocular vision, cos then you have to choose between bnocular vision, binocular vsion, or binocular vison. |
