Also, quarks can't bounce away from each other. Lone quarks do not and cannot exist in nature, as far as we know.
Additionally, integrated luminosity is luminosity integrated over time, and is just the number of events produced per unit area. It is the main metric used when CERN releases data and shares just how many events are in a given data set; this is done such that you can take the cross section of a given event (like Higgs production), multiply it by this value, and get how many events of that type happen (how many Higgs were produced).
You seem to be confusing coordinate time with proper time. The time you experience as you get out of a gravity well is proper time, which, as a sibiling comment said, is something you obtain when you do the path integral of the path you travel. This time is not exactly affected by dilation. Anything traveling with you will not have its time go faster or slower. Anything that is not traveling with you, say stationary on Earth, will indeed have its passage of time shifted with respect to you.
Coordinate time is the time observed by an observer at the center of the gravity well, looking at you (not always, but generally so for most calculations. Also, observer = origin of frame of reference) and that is what is morphed and bent around. Since you're an observer as well, you also see other points experience time differently, since from your point of view, they're moving away from you.
Can't you just set your keyboard on your phone to Dvorak? If yours can't, I do know of a few third-party ones that can, at least on Android.
In terms of math, I've only encountered linear algebra, multivariable calculus with A LOT of Dirac deltas and a smidge of complex analysis, necessary to calculate the Feynman propagator.
Well, the Newtonian gravitational potential is far more simple to deal with than something like super hot plasma confined by a strong magnetic field. But yeah, you typically do not want that moving around the place, so I presume it's a stable equilibrium.
