Show HN: Beamsplitter – a new possibly universal hash

Let me apologize for my complaints. It didn't occur to me that these names might be used out of admiration for a field.

I've also have to admit that physics needs relatively few new names in general which would make picking one a lot easier. There are also naming patterns as well, e.g. for superpartners (new articles in supersymmetry are either prefixed with S- or suffixed with -ion [0] in a predictable way).

That was cool to read your reply. actually looking back over my code, I see my achievement was better than I thought. I only used addition, and rotation. no mult, nor xor.

technically tho rotation can be thought of as including multiplication and xor. but also not. so I don't know.
