Jeje, Hola Jerry,

Yes, if the counterpart balls in the pool  hall had a sort of magnetic 
attraction that could transfer momentum without  touching (i.e, gravity)....

Another way to think of these two points are  as the corners behind the 
refrigerator that no matter how you sweep out the lint  you always get frustrated 
in those naughty corners as the more you try to get  them out the more they get 
swept further in.  'S'matter?  Never seen  cleaning behind the fridge, 
either?:)

The interesting thing about them  is, which I haven't seen mentioned 
yet...p-robably the L4 and L5 Earth-Moon  points (that dust Francis was talking about) 
contain most of the history of the  formation of the Moon, and in the case of 
the Earth, Most of the history of the  formation of the Earth.  These are the 
meteoroids that AREN'T swept up by  the planets...A new NASA mission is 
planned called the  "Spring-Cleaning-Day"....:)  Now to see Mercury Venus and the 
Moon, it's my  longitudes turn!  Future sale: Spring-Cleaning Meteoroid Dust  
Sale....
