Binary star orbit simulation test

There should be a UI to control the params: the masses of the stars, orbit eccentricity and separation. It uses Kepler's third law to solve the positions. As seen the masses (and radii) have a ratio of 2 to 1.

@Flashfire97 If our Sun has a binary "dark" companion, it would have already shown its effect on the Sun's movements. Newtonian physics alone can disprove that the sun has a "dark companion." Second to that, a dark companion would already have made a shadow as much as a man walking in front a Christmas light against the background of stars around us.

I've heard about his before. There are now theories bouncing around and are awaiting confermation from NASA that our solar system is in a bianary star system. This was not discovered earlier because the "star" is either a brown dwarf or a black hole, thus hard to detect. If this "star" has a ring of debrie around it, when our paths collide again we could be bombarded by interstellar debrie. Possible time for next meeting: 2010. (Just a possiblity, don't really belive that)
