I'm serious that a ring will be created around the Earth at some point
in the future and I need some equations to simulate the event. I want
to be able to analytically demonstrate the long term stability of such
a ring system and all I get is joke after joke on this thread...

I will try more analytical groups like sci.math and physics.
