Quote:speaking of which....you'd think that something so incredible and vast could have inspired a better name than, uhh.... "Space"....lol. 

To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson:


"In my field, we call it like we see it. Unlike the geologists, or the biologists, or the chemists that go out of their way to make words this long so you have no idea what they're talking about. Alright? With us, it's all one syllable: Big Bang, black hole, red giant, white dwarf. There is a red spot on Jupiter, it's called Jupiter's Red Spot. There are spots on the sun, we call them sun spots. Okay? That's official lexicon because the universe is complex enough to lay a smokescreen of vocabulary. To distance you from who it is you're trying to communicate all of its grandeur to."


From this interview.


Note: There may be some screw ups in the quote because I took it directly from the video and I would make a terrible CC writer.
