Humans are inconsequential on a universal scale. An Aardvark has about the same chance of affect the course of the universe as we have. Don't worry, be happy.

What an absurd thing to worry about.

I think the biggest problem is defining beneficial. Humans generally consider extinction a terrible thing, but it can also be thought of a beneficial thing. I'm ok that dinosaurs became extinct since if they didn't I wouldn't be a writing this. If all hunting stopped I imagine many animal species such as deer would multiply until they over grazed the land and there was a massive die off and then a new equilibrium population would be established. This would be very beneficial to Turkey Vultures and other carrion eaters.

None of these are scary scenarios. We will all have been dead for untold billions of years before any of these possible outcomes. Have a cup of tea and chill out.

No problem, here you go and no finders fee required: Heat Treating.

If you can change black sapphires to blue sapphires, I recommend you to stop wasting your time on this forum and start changing those cheap Australian sapphires to expensive blue gems. Good luck!

I don't think you would be able to make that big of a change.

I think it is common practice to heat treat sapphires to enhance the color.

Nice...😄

If the term 'test particle' bothers you then just substitute the term 'a rock'. The out come will be the same. If you toss a rock it won't do anything elaborate, but when it leaves your hand it will trace out a parabola and it doesn't know it is following a parabola. Markus was trying to help you understand why the rock would move the way it does.

What is the difference between time dilation and a 'reduction in the frequency events'?

Have you tried hhhiup?

So Rq is your clock? Still sounds like time to me.

I agree with Prometheus that the answer to #1 is yes. Beyond that it would seem to me that how society and civilization would react would depend on the intentions of the entity. I don't think society would crumble or even change much in the long run if the entity just lived in solitude in Antarctica. Humans are incredibly resilient, I cannot believe how people are strive to maintain normalcy in places like Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen.

Sorry for any confusion, aqueous just means water. Sounds like that is too little. Around 8 grams per cup should be close to a pH of 3. I would use a strong acid or base instead of a weak acid like citric. No, the acid will cause the particles to become charged so that they will repel each other and remain in suspension. I believe this all accurate information but I am a chemical engineer, which means I am definitely NOT a chemist, one of the chemist on the site will join in if I am leading down the wrong path.

Have you tried an aqueous solution? I have worked with aqueous colloidal silica and pH is vital to keep the particles from clumping (floccing). You can order pH papers from Amazon. I would use NaOH and HCl to control the pH.

Time dilation occurs with velocity because it is a dimension.

No. Physics defines time is a dimension.

Yikes, my bad! I grabbed his comment from your post I guess, so I think the quote function attributed it to you.

Could be. My take was that the OP was saying that it is folly to think there are subduction zones, so I was trying to say he needed evidence to support that belief.

Sure it is. In the US Navy at least in the 80s and before the polarity of electrical diagrams were reversed VS civilian. IOW what civilians called positive the Navy called negative. It could be very confusing, but since the designation is arbitrary it didn't make any dfference. As long as everyone agrees on which way the current is moving it will all work out.

Here is a partial list of carbohydrates to help in your research: https://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-carbohydrates.html

This is from wiki: A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n Labels will give the total carbohydrates in a container. People seem most interested in sugar and fiber content so this broken out for the consumer on the label.

Great! All that is basically correct. The problem is that none of that supports your assertions. That is an unevidenced claim. You need evidence for that.

Stating absurdities is easy. Providing evidence of said absurdities is more difficult.
