Word: pentaquark Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe Proto-Hellenic *pénkʷe Ancient Greek πέντε (pénte) Ancient Greek πεντᾰ- (pentă-)lbor. English penta- English quark English pentaquark From penta- + quark. Pronunciation: /ˈpɛntəkwɔːk/, /-kwɑːk/, /ˈpɛntəkwɔɹk/, /-kwɑɹk/ 1. Any of a class of subatomic particles (previously hypothetical, since detected, subject to confirmation) consisting of a group of five quarks (compared to three quarks in normal baryons and two in mesons), or more specifically four quarks and one antiquark (symbol Θ). Labels: particle Example: Evidence for and against the heavier pentaquark states, the #92;Xi(1862) and the #92;Theta⁰#95;c(3100) observed at CERN and at HERA, respectively, are also discussed. I conclude that the evidence against the latter two heavier pentaquark baryons is rapidly increasing making their existence highly questionable. Example: A more recent famous example of false discoveries is the finding of a new particle called the pentaquark in experiments performed at accelerator laboratories in the mid-2000s. The pentaquark supposedly consists of four quarks and an antiquark bound together—a much different particle than the three quarks making up proton and neutron. Viewing the plots that were published in the literature between 2003 and 2005, we see a significant excess of events for the pentaquark, reaching almost 5 sigma—the gold-plated standard for the confirmation of new particles. Yet, further data and more detailed analysis again made the particle disappear.

Word: dark energy Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by American cosmologist Michael Turner in 1998, in reference to the earlier term dark matter. 1. A hypothetical form of energy thought to be spread uniformly throughout space (and time) and to have anti-gravitational properties: it represents a possible mechanism for the cosmological constant, and thus is one of the possible explanations for the current accelerating rate of expansion of the universe; and it is estimated to account for about 74% of the mass-energy of the universe. Labels: uncountable Example: Even Albert Einstein, who first proposed it as the Cosmological Constant in his 1916 General Theory of Relativity, doubted dark energy existed. He called it his "greatest blunder". Now, after a five-year survey of nearly 240,000 galaxies reflecting eight billion years of cosmic history, a team of astrophysicists has shown the elusive force exists. The data were obtained using the Anglo-Australian Telescope, and 26 scientists contributed to the so-called WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey.

Word: pan Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Germanic *pannǭ Proto-West Germanic *pannā Old English panne Middle English panne English pan From Middle English panne, from Old English panne, from Proto-West Germanic *pannā, from Proto-Germanic *pannǭ. Further origin uncertain. Alois Walde firstly suggests that it might be from Late Latin panna, from Latin patina (“broad, shallow dish, pan, stewpan”), from Ancient Greek πατάνη (patánē, “kind of flat dish”), which is probably from Pre-Greek. But the sound shifting from /patina/ → /patna/ → /panna/ raises questions as -tn- to -nn- is rarely seen in Latin. The mainstream theory as of now (Friedrich Kluge, Julius Pokorny, Guus Kroonen) suggests that it is from Late Latin panna. But its sparse attestation only in the frontier inscriptions and not widespread in most Romance languages raises doubts among a few scholars (notably Michiel de Vaan), being skeptical about its origin, and open for any interpretations (Oxford English Dictionary). Vladmir Orel, in his work Albanian Etymological Dictionary, suggests that both Proto-Germanic *pannǭ and Late Latin panna could be from a non-IE Mediterranean substrate word, considering that classical Latin attestations are scarce and distributed in a specific region, and Proto-Germanic loanwords from non-IE substrates often include agricultural terms, seafaring vocabulary, or animal names. Although, this substrate hypothesis is controversial and most scholars remain skeptical about it. Cognate with West Frisian panne, Saterland Frisian Ponne, Dutch pan, German Low German Panne, Pann, German Pfanne, Danish pande, Swedish panna, Icelandic panna. Pronunciation: /pæn/, /pan/, [peə̯n] ~ [pɛə̯n], /pæːn/, [peːn] 1. To wash in a pan (of earth, sand etc. when searching for gold).

To disparage; to belittle; to put down; to harshly criticize, especially a work (book, movie, etc.) Labels: transitive Example: Matt Damon, who compared the advent of virtual money to the development of aviation and spaceflight in a critically panned but widely seen Crypto.com ad last year, did not respond to requests to weigh in. 3.

Word: pan Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Clipping of panorama. Pronunciation: /pæn/, /pan/, [peə̯n] ~ [pɛə̯n], /pæːn/, [peːn] 1. (of a camera) To turn horizontally. Labels: intransitive Example: Later today in Finsbury Park, the cameras would spend hours panning across 35,000 festivalgoers in search of pickpockets, drunken brawlers, and other assorted agents of petty mischief. 2. To move the camera lens angle while continuing to expose the film, enabling a contiguous view and enrichment of context. In still-photography large-group portraits the film usually remains on a horizontal fixed plane as the lens and/or the film holder moves to expose the film laterally. The resulting image may extend a short distance laterally or as great as 360° from the point where the film first began to be exposed. Labels: intransitive Example: As one can only "pan" at 90 deg. to the direction of movement of the subject, a compromise has to be reached when shooting at more conventional angles between a shutter speed high enough to arrest the forward movement of the subject and one low enough to blur the valve motion and wheels. 3. To shift an image relative to the display window without changing the viewing scale. Labels: intransitive 4. To spread a sound signal into a new stereo or multichannel sound field, typically giving the impression that it is moving across the sound stage. Labels: transitive 5.
