Two particles in circular orbits around their mutual center of mass, if arrested in their orbital motion and falling from rest, will come together in a time equal to 1/(42) of the period of their former revolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
