In summary, a solar-powered internet connection is awesome. Some of the words people might use to describe science are parallax, lenticular, microscopy, spectrophotometer, quark, neutrino, and spaghettification. The word "virialization" is a recent favorite of mine. Barn, Joyce, and barn as a unit of area are also cool words. Colonoscopy, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, and taxicab metric are all real things. There are six words people might use to describe black holes: event horizon, accretion disk, singularity
