Explanation
Static methods belong to the class, not instances - they can't override non-static methods (different binding mechanism), and non-static methods can't override static methods. Overloading a non-static method with a static one works by signature but is poor practice (different binding). Static methods can be hidden by other static methods (shadowing), not truly overridden. The synchronized keyword affects thread safety, not override capability.
