Collective Nouns for Physicists : A current of physicist, A knot of physicists
The Vocabulary column in NY Times had an interesting question:
This weekend, co-vocabularists are invited to submit novel nouns of assemblage for modern phenomena. A bucket of Wiis? A swamp of blogs? A murder of crowds?
So what would you call a crowd of physicists? Here are my suggestions:
A quantum of physicists
A current of physicists
A plasma of physicists
A horizon of physicists
A resistance of Physicists
An einstien of physicists / A bohr of physicists / A hawking of physicists
An inertia of physicists
A sigma of physicists
Of course, a crowd of string theorists will be called:
A string of Physicists
A knot of Physicists
A manifold of Physicists
A dimension of physicists
I am sure you can come up with something better. Leave a note in the comment.
