Should have been collapsar

Astronomers should have ignored John Wheeler and stuck with the word
collapsar, which went nicely with pulsar and quasar.

Instead we have just given the Russians something to snicker at.

In my opinion, collapsar sounds way cooler, exotic, and cosmic, while
black hole just sounds like a common dark pit in the ground (but then
again, I am not Russian).

Now about this Big Bang term....
