Wink 120 deg FOV? Is there a name for widefield eyepiece addiction?

I thought I would challenge the great minds of the forum here and ask the question what comes after 100 deg FOV?
Call me demanding, call me silly because these eyepieces already exist.

Would it be practicable to have an eyepiece with a FOV more than 100 degrees?

Does physics allow this to happen in the 2 inch realm?

Will these larger FOV eyepieces came with a neck brace included?

Or would these eyepieces be limited by aperture?

Does anybody care, or do have to ring up DR Karl?

Anyhow.....if the name doesn't exist already I propose the name fovamania for the addition of wide field eyepieces which I'm clearly a sufferer of...... just ask my regular supplier of eyepieces...........
