With circular motion, you can spin threads, mill grain, move a wheel forward, drill holes, bring water upwards, generate electricity spinning turbines, create gravity, defeat gravity. It’s just too OP

    are you saying the large extent of the two Trojan fields shows “wobbliness” of space? because you’d expect all the debris to be right at the exact L4 and L5 points?

    if so - no, because a LaGrange point is (despite being massless itself) something a light body can have a stable orbit around. it’s not just the only stable point, it allows a large zone for stable orbits.
