I'm trying to come up with a puntastic name for a pop physics blog, because by authorial decree Adrien Agreste amuses himself by analyzing footage of akuma fights as though he's not a participant. The pseud he's using (also puntastic and not yet thought of) is one he can safely connect to his Adrien identity, though he doesn't intend to do that until he's confident he won't get paternally lectured again on how there's so much more financial security in getting an MBA and taking over the family business than there is in academic research in the hard sciences, really, Adrien, I have only your best interests at heart here.

Adrien has a second pseud, more transparently Chat Noir, to guest contribute to himself with, but he hasn't used it; there just hasn't been a good time to ask Ladybug's opinion on one or both of them doing science on their own abilities, never mind recording everything for analysis in full view of the internet. (One of these will be an easier sell than the other anyway.) But enough of the battles end up with publicly accessible video that Adrien can still do a lot of analysis, with plans to tell Ladybug anything useful he deduces (preferably by pointing her at the blog post), and with vague notions of eventually studying physics at university and impressing the scientific community with his work here.

In any event, I need a punny blog name and two pseuds. So I, intending to skim a bunch of search results till I found something satisfactorily physicist-y to name the blog, googled "miraculous puns".

...I don't know what I expected...

OK so you're talking about Newtonian physics here, not, like, quantum or astro or relativistic or something. There are definitely games you can play with Newton's name alone. Something about New Ton? I dunno, not that awake. But, like, narrow your field of searching.

Well, yes, but I could just google "physics puns". I specifically want to play off the word "miraculous". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My point was that you want to search for a subset of physics puns, because puns about just any kind of physics won't make sense. You could do something with Mirabile Dictu/Wonderful to Relate/Relativity, but if relativistic physics don't have anything to do with the blog, it won't make sense. On the other hand, if you're searching for "newton miraculous" you can find out that The Miraculous Year, 1666, was the height of Newton's career, and maybe find something there.

Oh! Okay :)

Sorry I failed to get that across the first time. I need sleep.

I think it's an absolute shame you're not doing the right kind of science for Chat's pseud to be Schroedinger, but I'm not able to offer any useful help either. XD

I was about to suggest Schroedinger's Black Hole, covering both sides of Chat Noir.

HA YES

Maybe "Apple in Flight" as a pseud for Adrien?

I do like the idea of "The Miraculous Year" as the title for the blog.

:D

He probably commissions Nathaniel to make header art for the site. Chat Noir sitting under an apple tree, with either a bright red apple or Ladybug's yoyo bouncing off his head.

Definitely the yoyo.

Oh dear. <3

YUP

Planck's Constant Comment (with some reference to the similarly named tea?)

Ooo

In physics, the coefficient of friction is represented by μ, which Merriam-Webster informs me is pronounced as both "moo" and (wait for it) "mew". Therefore: μraculous perhaps for the website? Or maybe you can incorporate it into CN's handle. TheCatSaysμ? Something like that, perhaps. I'm sure you can come up with a few yourself, if you like the idea.

...I can't believe I forgot that one. I have used that one.

XD lol whoops?
