Discussion questions: What happens if two black holes merge?
If intellegent life creats many tiny black holes...
About force laws: inverse square produces ellipses, but it is not the only one. Harmonic spring law is where the force = the distance, so the farther you get the more force you feel, like pulling on a spring. This law produces ellipses where the sun is at the center, not at a focus. Another...
Given 3- bodies of non-negleble mass, are there stable configurations or not.
for example,
Will a planet (with non-zero mass) orbiting 1000 au away from two stars 0.1 au apart eventually leave the system if you give it 10^9999999... years; or is the system stable for a truly infinete time...
The simple reason: firing your rockets will add the same amount of velocity no matter where. But, kinetic energy is velocity^2, so the faster your starting velocity is the more energy you gain.
example: going 3km/s your energy is 9 units. add 1 km/s and energy is 16. You get 7...
