I don’t understand. How would energy not be conserved if one flew away? It’s not in the system, but it’s still out there?

- lutusp 11mo agoI'm just saying that, because of energy conservation, an escaping member would need to permanently carry away more than 1/3 of the system energy (for equal-mass satellites). This is possible but unlikely.
