Reply to comment by Ethan-Wakefield in What does it mean for light to be an excitation in the electromagnetic field? by Ethan-Wakefield
An antenna is one or more conductive elements electrically connected to a receiver or transmitter. What does a black hole have to do with anything?

In Greek it's still 'imaginary'.

Reply to comment by zerpa in Why are green and red laser pointers so cheap and available, but yellow ones not so much? by SurprisedPotato
Because neither red nor green, in terms of frequency/wavelength, are yellow. The colour wheel is about visual perception.

It does sound cool :D From time to time I wonder if there's any "coolness"-factor involved in the alternative meaning of crypto-, hidden. Thanks for your input.

In your opinion, do cryptocurrencies aim to coopt the usefulness of cryptography by incorporating the terminology ("crypto-") in order to gain legitimacy? Why, in your opinion, the same did not happen with distributed systems terminology - arguably the only other scientific field to which cryptocurrencies sparked actual research - which is far less accessible to the public?

Just a "marketable" term for applied statistics. Unfortunately there are already courses for it which teach entirely trivial and unrelated things along with very basic statistics and profit off people's ignorance.

You're looking for 'computer algebra' or 'symbolic computation' systems. Here is a good list to get you started.

No - not all. What most people refer to when they say something like this is public-key cryptography. That is because Peter Shor found an algorithm to factorise an integer efficiently and thus solve the problem some PKI relies on in time that classical computers cannot. What's more fascinating, is that we're approaching quantum computers with enough qubits to examine quantum Fourier transforms, which might allow us to see a realistic, albeit large, implementation of Shor pretty soon.

Any chance you can link to it or the studies you're refering to?
