Sorry about this. I have now removed your username from banned users list of /v/science. The mod (which no longer moderates /v/science) banned you in error, most likely during the impersonation spam as @cynabuns mentioned. Once again, please accept my apologies.

I know you're constantly strapped for time, so I just want to say that the fact that you care about each of your users at such a granular level is both inspiring and appreciated!

I never thought about this experiment in this way, but I have always entertained the notion that past,present,future all happen at the same time.

Holy shit - I remember you being banned! This was around the time that MH101 was slightly altering the names of real users, mods too, and you got caught in that. Didn't you get zapped in v/politics too for same reason??
The correct username to have banned was u/o_V_o_ (which it was) and this has an underscore at the end, whereas yours, u/o_V_o does not have the underscore at the end. See this post too, https://voat.co/v/ReportSpammers/comments/531106.
Hey @Atko or @Puttitout - could you free up this genuine voater, u/o_V_o, from the banning in v/Science since there's no helper mods in there.

Good times! :P

I might have, but I don't post there, so I don't really know.
since there's no helper mods in there.
is @system not a real person? I'm pretty sure I sent several msgs.. would explain the lack of response.

Weren't you banned because somebody made an account with a name very similar to yours and then spammed on it, and they banned you by mistake?
Actually, if you look the ban log (go one page fwd to see impersonator account), I was banned a month before my impersonator, despite never actually posting any comments there... apparently by some vindictive mod I pissed off in an unrelated sub.

The thing is that the scenarios aren't actually different.
The earth orbits the sun, the sun orbits the galactic core, the galaxy itself is moving through space. In every reference frame other than the Earth's, the Earth's velocity is not constant, and varies by far more than the speed of an aircraft. So if the first postulate of special relativity (laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames) is false in this way, then the Earth is somehow a privileged reference frame.
