[time-nuts] Pendulums & Atomic Clocks & Gravity

[Didier Juges]

For the same reason that a satellite in free fall is still subject to 
gravitational forces, so do objects in Lagrange points. These points 
represent areas where the centrifugal forces compensate for gravity from 
two objects instead of one for a regular satellite. The only way to be 
free from gravitation is infinite distance from mass, until someone 
actually invents the famous gravitational shield :-) I hope it comes in 
spray form...
