this is so interesting.
it’s not the first nor the last time wish that communities would not refrain from changing terminology. fitness is as important as accuracy and we shouldn’t be wary of dropping such inaccuracies, especially when they bring such strong connotations.
- PaulHoule 2y agoFor one thing the technology in an MRI based on a phenomenon known as nuclear magnetic resonance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_magnetic_resonance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_magnetic_resonance they dropped the "nuclear" bit because it is scary, it doesn't involve any ionizing radiation. It is all about making the nucleus wobble but not about splitting atoms. I have fond memories of doing NMR experiments in senior labs as a physics major.
