Equating up quarks with matter is incorrect. All quarks are considered matter
-
That’s not a link to a credible source.

Synchronized means both the frequency and the phase (time) are the same for the clocks. But identical clocks in different frames run at different frequencies. They can’t be synchronized.

Divulging information that might be the basis of such bias is voluntary. Posters here do so with some degree of anonymity, which mitigates this to some extent. There’s more risk from personal vendettas, and as Phi indicated, the staff monitor this. People abusing the system have their powers restricted. No, I’m afraid that in virtually all cases, it’s a matter of feedback on the quality of your posts. To paraphrase Martin Blank, if negative points show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring them there.

Banning happens if you break the rules. It’s not a function of your reputation, though a large negative rep might have a correlation.

! Moderator Note It’s not news, as such. Pictures or videos are ok as support for discussion, but don’t work so well as the topic itself

The problem here is that you aren’t doing the hard part, even if you think you are. In fact, you are creating extra work, because people have to explain to you why your ideas aren’t possible. “Thinking outside the box” is often touted as a virtue, especially by your ilk, but when you have no clue what the box is and why it’s there, it isn’t. It’s an excuse not to put the effort in to learn science

What have you done so far to solve this?
-
“Now” isn’t really used, as physics tends to quantify things, but since clocks in different frames can’t be synchronized, the answer is no. There is no common now. Relativity completely discards that concept.

No. Einstein defined a clock synchronization technique, so that everyone in a frame can agree that an event that happened at some value of t happened at that time. It is the same time everywhere in a given frame. So whatever time it happens for someone co-located and at rest with respect to the event, that's the time for everyone in that frame You don't get to redefine this. And misapplying it will lead to errors. So if an observer at the origin learns of the event at t = x/c (from light travel) they know the event happened at t=0 -
Then there should be no issue in you providing the numbers, and a link to the information A cap is not the same as the production amount. Also, cap and trade is not the same as a tax.

"Antimatter cannot be controlled." is not a question "Which means to some extent it exists outside the boundaries of natural forces." is not a question.

! Moderator Note It's not speculation? Then please back up your claims with mainstream science. It doesn't matter if you're here in speculations or in the mainstream science sections — backing up claims is expected of you.
