How can you solve the equation if you don't know the force? 6.67x10-11 is not 6.67 to the -11 power. It is 6.67 x 10 to the -11 power. d = ((G*M1*M2)/F)^(1/2) or d = ((0.000000000832416)/F)^(1/2) You need the force to solve it furthur. EDIT: Now I feel silly, the force was there all along, I didn't see it :)

2.3x10^-12 = (6.67x10^-11 * 5.2 * 2.4) / d d = (6.67x10^-11 * 5.2 * 2.4) / 2.3x10^-12 d = 8.32416x10^-10 / 2.3x10^-12 d = 361.92 meters

I can't tell if you are serious or not...

Sorry, no even semi-easy way to do that. What did you have in mind?

Blitz3D doesn't have a large enough mass to bend light.

@everyone responding, 'not possible in Blitz': You are kidding right ? My math may stink like last weeks expired milk but surely it's possible if we take some liberties.

heh. You'd have to right a raytracer to do that. Large enough mass? you should be able to make nearly anything up to like $FFFFFFFF. Although that won't affectr light lol. it's not a real world behind your moniter after all.
