Thank you for weighing, stefan r! I viewed some simulations that appeared to illustrate this and proceeded to write a sci-fi novel around the premise. I'm very glad to know it sounds within the realm of possibility.

Thank you!

So, if I'm understanding correctly, that would make for a post-sunset in this case by the dimmer star?

Great to know! Thank you SO MUCH for your help with this and for the expertise!

Thank you for clarifying! Very helpful!

Thank you, jedishrfu! Awesome! I have not read Susskind--excited to check that out! I really appreciate the rec!

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Nice of you to fix the link :) I've been fascinated with quantum mechanics for decades and I just finished the first draft of a sci-fi novel that takes place in a binary star system. Trying to make sure I have my facts straight before handing over to...

Thank you for the warm welcome, berkeman! Thoughtful of you to ask about the music. Here's a link to one of the songs: [Link updated by berkeman]

Hi everyone, New member here. Just want to say hello and that I'm excited to be a part of the community! Passionate about quantum physics and looking to expand my knowledge & understanding. -kate
