<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>L2 is extremely unstable. Only L4 and
L5 have a meta-stability. Earth satellites launched into L1 or L2
have to constantly have thheir orbits corrected, using up rocket fuel, so they
can never stay there long. L4 and L5, like I mentioned, even have
people thinking about building a tourist hotel there (although micro-gravity
would soon kill off any guests).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I brought up L4 and L5 because the orbits of
objects there are VERY weird, being in three-dimension Liissajous orbits (which
mathemmatically turn out to also be meta-stable) L4 andd L5 can also have
"horseshoe orbits" which are also meta stable. I have not done that math
but associates have and they think that Lissajous orbits and Horseshoe orbits
can be meta-stable fo more than a million years, although Venus figures to
eventually destabilize them. Thhe gravitation of horseshoe orbits might be
most productive for your purposes. They are REALLY
interesting.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You seem destined to forever seek ANYTHING that
might ever mention your "favorite number". If you ever see a traffic sign
with that number on it, you will clearly be excited. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The REASON I mentioned the Lissajous orbits of the
L4 and L5 objects is because I have no doubt that there is "undiscovered"
gravitational knowledge somewhere in there (although my guess is that it will
require Riemanniann Calculus to discover.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Lissajous and Horseshoe orbits do NOT initially
seem to be compatiblew with gravitation. The "third dimensional" aspect of
the orbits apparently NEED some additionall factor in Newton's (two
dimmensional) Vector equation. I just thought that you guys might be able
to sleuth it out.</FONT></DIV>
