  • And who says scientists are humourless?!

    When the gnocchi phase is compressed, as would be expected in deeper layers of the crust, the electric repulsion of the protons in the gnocchi is not fully sufficient to support the existence of the individual spheres, and they are crushed into long rods, which, depending on their length, can contain many thousands of nucleons. These rods are known as the spaghetti phase. Further compression causes the spaghetti phase rods to fuse and form sheets of nuclear matter called the lasagna phase. Further compression of the lasagna phase yields the uniform nuclear matter of the outer core. Progressing deeper into the inner crust, the holes in the nuclear pasta change from being cylindrical, called by some the bucatini phase or antispaghetti phase, into scattered spherical holes, which can be called the Swiss cheese phase.

    I regret to inform you that it is not, in fact, pronounced the same as “Janet”.

    But! In the spirit of reasonably close approximations, it’s pronounced kind of like if you said “Janet” but with a Y instead of a J. For extra points, double the N and replace the E sound with an A sound, so sort of like “yan-nat” (/ˈjænːæt/ if you’re a NERD)

    Edit: and note that my username is Finnish, which you should never confuse with Swedish unless you want to make people very angry.

    But seriously speaking, in case y’all don’t know, Finnish is a Uralic language which means it’s in a completely different language family than almost all Eurasian languages except Estonian, Sámi, Hungarian, and a smattering of more-or-less extinct languages in the Baltics and Russia. Swedish is closer to Kashmiri than Finnish.
