If you have a object that is about 10^36 less massive than the Earth (about 10^-12 kg) and say it exerts a force on the Earth about 10^-11 Newtons, this would cause the Earth to accelerate about 10^-36 m/s^2. If this object was away from earth, and say if these objects were initial stationary towards each other, in one second, the Earth would travel a distance of .5at^2, which would be .5*10^-36 m, less than the Planck length? So does such a small mass affect the Earth at all at a distance? Does the Earth move if the 10^-12 kg object does?
