And how far are they apart?  How far are they KEPT apart, by the
Repulsion Force.

If the mass is pulled from one to the other, then the gravity attraction
is strong enough to do this.  So why doesn't the second star just merge
with the first?  One part of the star is honoring Newton and abiding by
his laws, while the other is not?  Why is the mass moving from one star
to the other, if the centrifugal force is strong enough to keep it in
its orbit?
