Starship Asterisk*

Hello Chris, Point taken, thank you. In thinking about an individual star inside a very large homogeneously-distributed 3D array of similar stars, it stands to reason that the net gravitational force in any direction, on said star, is nearly zero. For the stars at the edge of such a cluster I imagin...

Sitting around, I am calculating that the mean instellar distance in this cluster is around 0.262 light years. 150 ly dia, 1.8E6 ly^3, 55.55 stars/ly^3, 55.55^0.3333≈3.82, 1/3.82≈0.262ly. Just checking. Interesting that they don't end up in one big accretion! Perpetually in orbit around each other? ...
