  1. This might be something to do with when an Up Quark decays into a Down Quark in a neutron star and extra energy is required.

    If Quark Stars exist, as 2/3 rds of the matter in a Neutron star are down quarks, if more Up Quarks decay into Down Quarks, the proportion of down quarks to up quarks might be even higher.

     

  2. Down quarks themselves cannot be the source of gravity, but there may be something in the proportion of down quarks to up quarks in a particular type of matter that somehow affects the binding energy present in that matter.

  3. Does the matter inside a black hole lose all its binding energy, so that all the particles are reduced to quarks ? Does that binding energy then exist as an entity with E = Mc^2, and does that supply most of the mass in a black hole ? Is that binding energy what really causes gravity, since it is responsible for most of the mass ?

  4. What happens if the Schwarzschild radius of a spherical object is exactly equal to the radius of the object ? Can it stabilise at that size or will it inevitably become smaller than the Schwarzschild radius and become a Black Hole ?

    What happens if the total mass of the object would be sufficient to create a radius less than the hypothetical Schwarzschild radius of that object if the mass was in the form of a perfect sphere, but instead the object is not symmetrical and is irregular in shape ?

  5. There's the Time Dilation equation

    T = To/(1-v^2/c^2)^1/2

    If you set To = 1,

    you can get T = 1/(1-v^2/c^2)^1/2

    Time is related to velocity and the speed of light, somehow.

  6. The flag was not really waving. The motion was caused by vibration when the pole and the flag was planted, as putting it in place was achieved by applying a force downwards, which then caused a reaction upwards, manifested by a continuous vibration as there was no air pressure or friction.

    Because of the mass and smaller radius. What’s the evidence that the down quarks result in even more gravity than an identical mass and radius with fewer down quarks?

    No evidence, just a coincidence which probably means nothing. Most of the matter in a neutron star are neutrons, 2/3 rds of which are down quarks.

    Most of the mass in a nucleus is binding energy, and the individual quarks ( if you could isolate one ) although of slightly differing masses, only contribute a couple of percent of the masses of protons and neutrons.

    Is there a relationship between binding energy and gravity ?

    What is the binding energy of matter in a neutron star ?

  9. Basically, the Down Quark is involved in the creation of gravity, because the gravitational field around a neutron star is greater than the gravitational field around normal matter, as there is a higher proportion of Down Quarks in the matter of a neutron star than in ordinary matter. If the gravity is even stronger, as in a black hole, that matter might contain an even higher proportion of Down Quarks, or might be almost completely made of Down Quarks.

    Not all black holes are "perfect" with an event horizon and a singularity. The event horizon might not form around an area of dark matter, which is a black hole without an event horizon. Singularities only form in the largest black holes and they have a radius equal to the Planck length and experience Planck time. When a singularity is compressed to less than the Planck length radius, it explodes to form a new universe.
