The problem is that even though the graph looks pretty flat and the maximum speed looks pretty close, in the middle part of the graph from our very scaled out perspective; if you zoom in to specific parts of the middle of the journey, they are not actually very close. Ship A gets to a maximum...

Well, Kepler 22b is an actual real exoplanet, and one of the first discovered in the habitable zone of its star. So hopefully, not a lot of terraforming required, since it's already in the habitable zone. Also the ships are not necessarily cooperating with each other, they could be in...

No, acceleration is the entire first half of the trip, while deceleration is the entire second half. The very brief amount of time spent is the point at which they are switching from acceleration to deceleration.

No, your summary seems right. If you want to verify my numbers, I used to following online calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/space-travel Yes, that's because the 1g and 3g start to converge once you get to relativistic speeds, since you can't exceed the speed of light.

Two relativistic spaceships, A & B, are launched simultaneously from Earth towards Kepler 22b, 640 LY away. Ship A is a lighter ship, has no life support as all it carries is some powered-down androids, and it can accelerate at a constant 3g. Ship B is a more massive ship, it carries human crew...

Ah, I didn't notice that! I had assumed it was the force within a nucleon, i.e. between quarks. Okay, so the EM force becomes important again even within the hadron?

Would this be to figure out if they would be stable inside super-neutron stars? This graph:

There is also a repulsive force from the gluons when quarks get too close. Do higher-mass quarks run into that limit if they get too close? Or is the gluon interaction distances different for these other quarks?

I suppose all of those radii would do. What's the difference between them?

What is the most massive molecule that's ever been made? How much does it weigh, and how many atoms is it made from?

Would baryons not made with standard Up or Down quarks exhibit smaller radii than neutrons and protons? I'm thinking like for example how muons have much smaller orbitals than electrons, on the lepton side of things.

I didn't realize that QG plasma and Q soup were different things? I had assumed they were synonyms. What distinguishes them? Aren't Hyperons just Baryons with Strange quarks in them? So wouldn't Lambda-0 and Sygma-0 particles be Hyperons too?

I wasn't sure if I should post this in astrophysics or particle physics, so I'll try particle physics first, mods feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum. So I was wondering if hypothetical Strange stars exist, would the strange quarks arrange themselves into baryons (i.e. Lambda-0 or...

Now, it's been said that the majority of the entropy in the universe resides within the cumulative entropy of black holes inside the universe. How do they know that? Now, I'm not so interested in how they determine the black hole's entropy, I know there's a relatively simple formula for that...
