Hmm, so the physics theme has taken off? :) I'm not complete enamored with it though, despite my preference to view "the field" as the fundamental. (Even that's a play, in case it got past you).
Aside: *Penrose*, I do like. He lives, I believe, not too far from Rushton Towers. And he was awarded the Nobel prize for physics, recently. I can envisage much play on "pen" and "rose" in terms of icons and "Englishness" (at least). On Saturday, January 2, 2021 at 2:10:01 PM UTC-6 Mark S. wrote: > Don't forget Quarks.
