This pull request adds a variety of new scientific and technical terms—primarily from physics and astronomy—to both the BPMFMappings.txt (for Bopomofo phonetic mappings) and phrase.occ (for phrase occurrence tracking) data files. These additions enhance the dictionary's coverage of modern scientific vocabulary, particularly terms relevant to quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and related fields.

Major additions by theme:

Physics and Quantum Mechanics:

  • Added terms such as 弦論 (String Theory), 強子 (Hadron), 玻色子 (Boson), 費米子 (Fermion), 量子穿隧 and 量子隧穿 (Quantum Tunneling), 雙縫實驗 (Double-slit Experiment), 波粒二元性 and 波粒二象性 (Wave–Particle Duality), and 熵增 (Entropy Increase). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Astronomy and Astrophysics:

  • Added terms including 主序星 (Main Sequence Star), 事件視界 (Event Horizon), 史瓦西半徑 (Schwarzschild Radius), 奧爾特雲 (Oort Cloud), 柯伊伯帶 (Kuiper Belt), 暗物質 (Dark Matter), 暗能量 (Dark Energy), 戴森球 (Dyson Sphere), and 熱寂 (Heat Death). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Notable Scientists and Related Terms:

  • Added 圖靈 (Turing) and 霍金 (Hawking) to the mappings and occurrence files. [1] [2]

Particle Physics:

  • Added terms such as 對撞機 (Collider), 希格斯 (Higgs), and 電漿 (Plasma). [1] [2] [3]

Corrections and Variants:

  • Included additional pronunciation variants for terms like 宇稱不守恆 and 宇稱守恆 (Parity Nonconservation/Conservation).

These updates ensure the dictionary remains up-to-date with contemporary scientific terminology and supports accurate phonetic representation for these specialized terms.
