High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
Oh. I misinterpreted the mechanical pressure as "pure momentum" if this makes any sense (e.g. acceleration of an object). Although, now that we're talking about it...- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
Hey, I wanted to take a deeper dive into the article you posted a few weeks back but the page is not available anymore. Would you by any chance have the citation for the article?- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
I've watched the whole thing. Universe Sandbox apparently doesn't account for variables such as radiation pressure, curvature of space, dark matter (which apparently is itself currently under assault)... However, I really do appreciate the insight it can give us into some simulations. Out of...- delie

You've beaten me to it! Once, I parsed the material above and resolved my celestial mechanics headache, I was planning to dive deeper into these celestial "colorimetrics". Your article will be most useful =)- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
Those are some nice representations, Devin! So, if I'm interpreting the conclusions of your simulations correctly, not only it is important to conceptualize a stable orbit, but also account for an eventual natural "drift" within that orbit - relatively to the properties of the planets composing...- delie

On the contrary! This type of "assemblage" never crossed my mind. Also, I never had the opportunity to check out Star Trek (discouraged by the re-booted movies and swayed by the reviews of the Picard series). Are you aware of more works describing these types of - I'm not even sure we can call...- delie

I know this expression has been used to oblivion, but... this is mindblowing! I won't be following up with a question, as I need to first go through the above material to interlock all these new concepts in my mind.- delie

Indeed! I realized that after I responded to the post above. With all the material that has been shared with me here, my downtime is booked for the next few weeks =))- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
And these half-day/night cycles would happen, even with several suns within the vicinity? I have already seen a simulation of the helical model. In my - uneducated - mind, it was possible for the earthlike planet to be stuck between the two suns within that rotation, making a perpetual day...- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
Alright, this looks like a promising start. So based on your source, what I'm looking for specifically is called "classic mechanics", gotcha! Moreover, if one sun is bigger than the other, then it would make the orbiting more "predictable"?- delie

High School Timekeeping and eclipses on a planet with four moons and two suns
Hey,I was wondering if anyone could point me to some reliable and vulgarized sources about complex planetary movements? For instance, let's imagine an inhabited earth-like planet having four moons of various sizes and two suns. How can I reastically establish the "time decorum" on the planet...- delie

I've been dragged here by my imagination?
Hi! As a kid, I remember wanting to become an astronaut. "Honey, you need to know lots of math for that!", replied my mother. She knew how much of an enthusiastic student I was, especially regarding the things of the world. That was one of the first graves to be dug in my own, VIP "Cemetery of...- delie
