Reactionless Drive that conforms to Newton's 3rd laws.
Providing more evidence than just your say-so would be job 1. If it’s reactionless, then it violates conservation of momentum. You are misusing the terminology. And have not described the device.

setting the Minkowski Spacetime model in motion
Claiming this means you reject relativity, because there are no absolute frames in relativity, and relativity allows you to compare the observation of different frames. You would need to provide evidence of this absolute frame. Which has nothing to do with being “in reference to the universe” It’s just your motion relative to the source Repeating this doesn’t make it true. Why can’t you provide experimental evidence to support you claims? What does this mean?

accelerating inclined plane
Right. So you should be able to set up equations for the forces on each block.

What does the third law tell you about these normal forces?

Does Gauss's Law explain a Higgs field and universal inflation ?
Gauss’s law works because the potential for a point charge is 1/r (all other configurations are superpositions of that). I suspect that’s not the case for the Higgs.

accelerating inclined plane
I see you have mg and N; I’m not sure why you would include a fictitious force. mg acts down (-y), and N has a y component and an x component. What can you say about the normal force that m exerts on M, and that M exerts on m?

Orch Or
That’s a fallacious extrapolation. No group of scientists are monolithic in their views. And if you want to support an idea, it needs to be based on science, not bashing others.

How can I learn more?
I agree that teaching can motivate you to learn and can point out your knowledge deficiencies, it doesn’t inherently increase your knowledge. And you have to honestly assess whether you understand something - when a question is posed to you, can you answer it or are you BS-ing your way through it? We’ve seen a lot of examples here of people (at least one claimed to have been a teacher) who were very confused about some basic concepts while insisting they understood.

Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
So every collision results in such a fire? So about 7 incidents per year. Some mention shipments of batteries (one mentions a shipment of 81,000 batteries), so this could be out of untold millions of batteries shipped. IOW the odds of an individual battery failure appear to be quite small. We have no data on whether these were due to manufacturing defects or improper handling, both of which can potentially be addressed.

Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
Fixing everything would be an unreasonable expectation. Sadly, the tactic of deriding something for not being perfect is used as an excuse to not do anything to improve the situation, when you don't want to do anything (see COVID, gun control) The US is stuck with automobiles as the primary mode of transit, including medium-haul (a few hundred miles), so the push to move away from fossil fuels has to be thought of with that constraint in mind. -- As far as the 1.6 kg of fossil fuels per chip goes, that article is from 2002, and probably refers to a specific type of chip. Newer chips are not just silicon, and fabrication has produced smaller chips over time. They mention a 32 MB chip (!) while memory today is perhaps as much as 100-1000x larger. One metric one can use to assess this is that a chip can't use more fossil fuel than the cost of the chip (and probably only a small fraction of it) - these people turn a profit. So one might ask how much these chips cost, because that would put a limit on how much fossil fuel goes into making them. $2000* per car? Then maybe it's using $200 worth of fuel. Depending on how much you drive, that might be a month or two of gasoline in the US. And one of the functions of the chips is improving your fuel economy. These probably "pay for themselves" many times over, in terms of fossil fuel impact. *scale as appropriate

Do black holes have a centre?
It's the physics ideal case. Completely static, no changes to anything. I would expect some sort of asymmetry if you got to a small enough resolution, for any real system.
-
Do black holes have a centre?
We don't know what the inside of a BH actually looks like. The simplest solution predicts a singularity, and that's unphysical. Geometrically speaking, yes, it has a center. The simplest case should also have spherical symmetry.

Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
I think the issue is where the chips are specifically in an EV, not which chips are going to be common to both an EV and ICE vehicle. Lights, door locks, etc. are common to all vehicles. To me the batteries, the power distribution and regenerative brakes are the obvious candidates when looking at differences between the two types of cars.
-
Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
There are people that do, and more will do so as infrastructure is put into place. To view this another way, nobody will if the infrastructure isn't there, and then you will limit adoption of EVs. Only if you view minimizing gas consumption and safety as conveniences. That would be one way of forcing the US to expand rail and mass transit, I suppose, but our system is built on being able to drive from point A to point B, and much of that at speeds faster than 30 mph. And we have lots of vehicles that get much better than 25 mpg. Same here; especially living where it snowed in the winter - cars would rust because they had steel everywhere, and it got attacked by the salt.

Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
And got what, 10 miles per gallon? Plus a top speed of 30 miles/hour and, as a bonus, were not very safe!
-
Why does an electric car needs so many more chips than an IC car?
But you have a lot of battery cells/modules, probably each with a voltage, current and temperature sensor, which are chips. Plus the battery management system.

setting the Minkowski Spacetime model in motion
Yes. You can compare the phase (time) not frequency. If a clock is running slow, it accumulates phase more slowly. If it runs slow for a longer period, a larger phase difference accumulates.
-
setting the Minkowski Spacetime model in motion
I'm unsure as to what you mean by "route dependent" I know that if a clock moves, it runs slow relative to another clock, and that this is both (1) experimentally confirmed and (2) in accordance with the predictions of relativity I don't care what you believe to be true. I want to know what you can demonstrate to be true.

NASA discovery proves Dark Matter doesnt exist and disproves standard model of cosmology [FALSE!]
! Moderator Note <points at everything you've posted> You have presented no model and done no analysis. It's all hand-waving and calling people who disagree with you idiots. Which is not science, and not sufficient to sustain a thread. Last chance.

NASA discovery proves Dark Matter doesnt exist and disproves standard model of cosmology [FALSE!]
There are observations that support the existence of dark matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter#Observational_evidence That's hardly a valid criterion. The fact remains that the article that you linked to does not mention this as a dark matter issue. How about you comply with the rules and present a rigorous analysis, rather than vague assertion? ! Moderator Note We can do without such invective. There were severe problems with Zwicky's data and analysis regarding dark matter https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2021/08/24/who-really-discovered-dark-matter-fritz-zwicky-or-vera-rubin/?sh=4478bd0217a7

Are there more than 2 sexes?
This is triggering my OCD. Can we agree that the proper terminology is to "bear" offspring? Anyone can bare offspring; you do this when you give them a bath.
