Hi Steven, Would you mind giving us a short preview of the higher power effects you simulated. I did a similar thing once and all I recall is that the second order drop with distance was the only one that was stable in orbits. My simulation was a bit crude at the time so I am asking you for your observations. Thanks.

I think I actually understood much of what you were trying to describe. Having performed numerous computer simulations that loosely involve the rules attributed to celestial mechanics I have on occasion experimented with incorporating additional "powers" (i.e. dimensions) into the algorithms. For example, I've incorporated cube powers and 4th powers into some of my computer simulations. The results are interesting. Occasionally unexpected... wildly unexpected! I hope to present some of what I have uncovered before the end of the year over on my OrionWorks website - that is if I can get around to the arduous task of completely overhauling it. I'm in the middle of that mess right now. Regarding your concern as to why we have not yet found other intelligent life in the Universe. As Arthur Clark once quipped, and I'm paraphrasing here: Quasars are nothing more than industrial accidents. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
