lol,

Ha, I dont mind being wrong, its just when ppl say things that they were indoctrinated with pre-specialization, and think thay are hard and fast, such as this one.
(And that the world can be shown not to be flat [Agian, the sphere is the simplest solution, not the only one], and The Big Bang is contra creationalism)

Can I really mesh Gravatational effects on a planetry scale with quantum? Nice Unifiying thorey coming up.

And relativly the two bodies are infact accelerating towards each other at the same rate, so any effect would be common to both.
(One could argue that the Kg mass droped from the plane, is accelerating towards the earth more than the earth is accelerating towards the Kg mass, but if you replace yourself with the mass, it definatly seems that its the earth speeding to meet you)

Given that the original equations where for a 2d model, I feel confident in saying that the observer is some distance away at a tangent to both these dimentions, and as no indication was given that these bodies would have a life span, I feel quite convident that any relativistic effects can be ignored.

I However still feel that insuficant information was given to assume that one mass was substantaly greater than the other, infact the inclution of Dy and DX for the vector of the acceleration, would continue to give me the belief that we are talking about comparible masses orbiting each other.
