Help with names
I decide to translate some English to Chinese,but I don't really understand why these objects are named so.

Re: Help with names
I will give it a try.
Professor
The blocks look like eyes, the cells below them form a moustache and the cells above are like eyebrows. Who has big eyebrows and moustache? Professor!
Symmetrical synapse
Synapse is a connection between neurons, and it looks much like this still life. But two "ends" of a synapse are very different, unlike two parts of the still life. Hence the first word of the name.
Biting off more than they can chew
In this oscillator, eaters try to devour a pond predecessor, but apparently fail.
New five
Something about five-cell rotor?
R2D2
Centinal
"Cent" means 100 (oscillator's period) and "inal" is probably just a fancy suffix.
Enterprise
You should watch more Star Trek.
Ecologist
It has a huge spark that can be used to delete debris.
Birthday puffer
This puffer was found on Adam P. Goucher's birthday.
Let me know if my explanations are not clear enough.

Re: Help with names
Narcissus:
The name of the flower known in English as "Narcissus" comes from a story from Greek mythology in which a young hunter, named Narcissus, falls in love with his own reflection in a pool (don't ask). This still life is composed of two mirrored copies (like a reflection in a pool) of an induction coil looking like a smiling face (which would be Narcissus's).
Cha cha:
In English, "cha cha" and "tea tea" are not the same thing. "Cha cha" generally refers to a style of dancing that includes a quick back-and-forth step, and is named for the sound this step makes.
Voldiag:
This is a highly-volatile diagonally-symmetric period-5 oscilator.
Blonker
The name is a portmanteau of "block" and "blinker", which appear at either end of the oscillator.
Mosquito
The image on the wiki page (as well as those on the pages for Mosquitoes 2 through 5) looks somewhat reminiscent of the shape of a mosquito.

Re: Help with names
aircraft carrier: John Conway's term (cf. LifeLine 2:12). I'm guessing the thought was "need another variation on the 'vessel' theme -- tub to boat to ship to ??. And since this is the same six cells as a ship, but moved to increase the size... okay, an aircraft carrier is a big ship with kind of square ends."
shillelagh: A shillelagh is an Irish walking stick/weapon, a "knotty stick with a large knob at the top". It's a bit of a stretch to see the similarity, but a lot of Life names need about this amount of imagination.
omnibus: "Omnibus" just means "for all" in Latin, but the word got applied to public vehicles in Paris and London in 1820-30, and that's where the short form "bus" eventually came from. Seems to me "omnibus" is now usually applied to big double-decker buses -- or maybe just British buses, I'm not sure. We just have regular buses here in the American Midwest.
Anyway, it appears that Adam Goucher applied "omnibus" to the 40-bit Life pattern for a combination of reasons -- unusual size, combined with unusual behavior: "Wait for ages to find one, and then four come along in quick succession" (in early Catagolue searches).
Buses that start out spaced at equal distances along a route tend to get clumped together over time, without even any need for a conspiracy of transportation bureaucrats to make them as useless as possible. Flanders and Swann mentioned this trait of omnibuses in a song called "A Transport of Delight", over half a century ago:

Re: Help with names
A real-world emu is a large flightless bird from Australia. The Life Lexicon mentions 'emu' as 'Dave Buckingham's term for a Herschel loop that does not emit gliders (and so is "flightless")'. So that's the main etymological connection: no gliders flying out of a loop -> "flightless".GUYTU6J wrote:Thanks!I want to add a term:Emu
This analogy of giant gliderless loops with large flightless birds was later extended to the name "Quetzalcoatlus", which is a very very large bird (well, dinosaur, but that's where birds came from) that could actually fly after all.
At first, the only Herschel loops that could be built in the range from period 54 to period 61 were emu loops: a Herschel's first natural glider can't escape if another Herschel comes along before T=62, so it was only possible to make a loop work if all the output gliders were suppressed. Spark-assisted conduits were eventually found that allowed non-FNG gliders to escape. That trick made the Quetzal true-period guns able to "fly".

Something that happens out of the blue is sudden and unexpected.
Example: "They seemed to be talking calmly when out of the blue she slapped him in the face!"
It is as if suddenly it started raining on a day when the sky was clear and blue.
Example: "Why did she do that?" Reply: "I have no idea. It was completely out of the blue."
You are surprised and unprepared when it happens out of the blue.
Example: "Did you know they would move you to a different project?" Reply: "Not at all. It was completely out of the blue."
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

Re: Help with names
Anybody else remember when the page for "Decapole" said that it was the "Biggest pattern ever constructed in 2016"?
Re: Help with names
We don't synthesise new barberpoles by smashing atoms together though. Although, we do with gliders... anyone up for creating a Periodic Table of Barberpoles?GUYTU6J wrote:Next is pentadeca!muzik wrote: Nina, deca, undeca, duodeca, tredeca, quatturodeca
That's actually the page I copied most of them from lmao
Why don't we just simply change the "ium" suffix to "pole"
Also, isn't the next one quindeca? Pentadeca would just be a nonsensical mashup of Latin and Greek (15 in greek is decapente, though)
Help wanted: How can we accurately notate any 1D replicator?
