@futurebird The most common "pter" word is "helico-pter", but people don't see it because they tend to break it down as "heli-copter".

What's the most surprising fact you've learned in the last couple of weeks?@johncarlosbaez In the pilot wave interpretation of quantum mechanics the evolution of the configuration depends only on the rate of change of the phase of the wavefunction. So because the ground state of the wavefunction always has constant phase, the configuration will be "frozen". So in particular the QFT vacuum isn't a boiling sea, it's more like a frozen landscape!
