Figure-of-eight orbit. Interesting concept. Could possibly lead to permanent twilight.

Just a quick guess, that would necessitate a couple of suns exactly identical in mass and density, for them to possess identical gravitational pull.

Otherwise, that planet is going to have a rather complicated/convoluted figure of eight trajectory.

Nothing at all wrong with convoluted trajectories, I say.

Another concept is two suns with the planets in the Lagrangian points of L4 or L5.

Which proves what I've always said: If you can imagine it, science will explain it.

Not always, though. You can imagine travelling back in time. To Caesar's Rome, Alexander's Greece or Cyrus' Persia. But science won't allow it.

Otherwise you can go back in time and kill your grandma or grandpa, and then you won't be born.

But still a planet needs to have a path fixed for it. Because it can't navigate its way on its own. Now, off on your bike. Me, I'm going for coffee. Byyyyeeee.

 

[Interference]

Gravity will help it find its way. Trust the Gravity. The Gravity is all-knowing

I did it! I completed my time machine. Now, I shall go back in time and kill my grandfather when he was still a boy, thus proving once and for all that there are no paradoxes in time trav

11. Pick an item and come up with things, other than its primary purpose, which it could be used for.

12. Describe something in a way opposing its normal setting; for example, describe something normally associated with violence from a stance of a peaceful mindset.

Explosions are beautiful when you watch them, have you noticed? First the flash, brilliant, gleaming; then speckles of detritus whirling like a ballet of debris; the colours within, the flame reds and yellows ... of course you don't really get the chance to watch them like this, normally, unless you're actually inside the explosion itself -- as I am ....
