"A shepherd moon orbiting just outside a narrow ring will orbit Saturn
more slowly than the individual particles composing the ring. Because
it orbits more slowly, its gravitational force will drag the ring
particles backward and decrease their energy. Hence the outer shepherd
satellite pushes ring particles inward to lower energy orbits. The
inner shepherd satellite orbits Saturn more rapidly than the ring
particles. It therefore pulls the particles along, increasing their
energy. The inner shepherd moon therefore pushes ring particles
outward to higher energy orbits."
This is fascinating stuff, and well worth learning. Just because you,
perhaps, can't understand it does NOT mean that the rest of us can't
understand it, either. Read, read, read... before you claim that "we
cannot make it work", because, obviously, it DOES work.
