It's taking me way to long to parse this. (Assuming this isn't too necro of a thread that you've forgotten all about it... :) )

I think what 7:5 resonance means is that one object goes around the 'central' star 5 times, in the same time it takes the other to go around 7 times. But for some reason that's not what I'm seeing? Am I confused? (Answer, yes, yes, I am)

I just counted (non-ptolemy and non-lagrangian) as each went around the star, and I didn't see the 7:5 resonance. The blue one went around 7 times, and the star went around... 3-ish times? No dice there.

Then I watched it in Lagrangian, and got this...

Woo - seven loops before the blue orbit perfectly lines up!

So I went to Ptolemy and watched...

Woo - five loops before the blue orbit matches up!

Five and seven. That's the point at which I started to doubt reality, and threw my cards in with numerologists. Is this a coincidence? Is this why I *should* be seeing 7:5 resonance? Help!

What I meant was as follows:

The resonance can be calculated from the number of loops the object makes in Lagrangian mode. You put the total number of pericenter passes (cycles) before the orbit lines up again on the bottom. The top can be calculated from how many loops it skips with each pass:

(Total):(Total-Skipped-1)=7:(7-1-1)=7:5

In this case, it skips every other loop as it orbits, so the bottom number is 7-1-1=5. Look at the orbit of Venus in Earth's Lagrangian mode (assuming you have a simulation of those 2 planets). Venus appears to be in an 8:5 resonance, but it's not. Its orbit skips every 3 "points", but never lines up with itself, so it's not exactly in an 8:5 resonance.

The pentagram/flower orbit in Ptolemy mode is just a coincidence of said gravity law. That has nothing to do with the resonance.

I was curious to see if planets could have moons assuming a reciprocal law considering that the moon would be more effected by the gravity of the star then the planet it orbits. I found that the answer is actually yes.

This is a planet orbiting around a star with its moon using F=r as the law for Gravity.

Love it -- and for whatever reason it looked a bit different when I ran it. (I might have lagrange-ed the wrong pair? Or ran it at x2 speed, that might have affected it?) In any case, still really striking, thought I'd share. Looks like the caterpillar (aka the 'worm') turned into a butterfly :)

Also, I'm glad I took physics courses in *our* world instead of this one. You'd fill up half the blackboard just writing the equation of gravity.

This may have been done a zillion times but.....

Make sure to set time to .010 and start paused
