    …birds. No really they are, just when I think the jargon cant become anymore incomprehensable. This little gem to explain birds eat the seed, birds s*** the seed nature, grows the seed and plants spread.

    Even Clarkson couldnt come out with something like that.

    on the other side of the coin, a company I used to work for installed and maintained fibre optic cabling.
    The cool tool used to test fibre cabling was called an optical time domain reflectometer How cool a bit of jargon is that?

    Jargon? My 4th year project was modifying the uni Laser Speckle Interferometrer. How's that for impenetrable?

    Other seed dispersal vectors are available. Wind, animal fur etc.

    Wrong sort of seed I think, but I guess willy waving could count.

    That's right, he hates Vectras.

    optical time domain reflectometer

    is that a mirror?

    This is what I dredged up on a google search on Gauss fields, makes the management speak I have to suffer here seem very sensible

    The mechanism of gravitational baryogenesis, based on the CPT-violating gravitational interaction between the derivative of the Ricci scalar curvature and the baryon-number current, is investigated in the context of the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld cosmology. We study the constraints on the fundamental five-dimensional gravity scale, the effective scale of B-violation and the decoupling temperature, for the above mechanism to generate an acceptable baryon asymmetry during the radiation-dominated era. The scenario of gravitational leptogenesis, where the lepton-number violating interactions are associated with the neutrino mass seesaw operator, is also considered

    LOL, nice one Zarquon..

    If I was in a band I would call it "Neutrino Mass Seesaw Operator"

    At work I regularly use a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID for short) which is basically a very very sensitive magnetic field detector.

    All of the above seem like fairly reasonable terminology. Seed dispersal vectors do not have to be birds, they just are in many cases.
