keplers laws apply to two body systems,  the earth/sun/earth is

two, two body systems

not sure how that would really work out, probably not, go unstable and 
eventually earth 1 would wack earth 2.....

came from that movie

You are correct. I mis-identified the appropriate "law". Newton's law (and
ultimately Einsteinian relativity) describe gravitation. As you point out,
Kepler's equations are only the restricted two-body description which
solves Newtonian gravity to yield a time-based prediction of a planetary
orbit.

Orbital perturbation theory is very complex. Orbital positions of three or
more bodies are impossible to solve analytically, but we can make
generalizations for how major orbital elements will evolve over time when
one object in the system (i.e. the Sun) is much more massive than the
planets, as is the case with the solar system.

Orbits of all planets are affected by other ones. But changes to orbital
elements will be much more pronounced in the smaller planets.

If there were a duplicate Earth exactly opposite us in our orbit, the time
humans have been observing planets would have been sufficient for its orbit
to be perturbed by Jupiter and Saturn to the point where we would be able
to see it by now.

I didn't admit I'm not a god, ...i wrote: "If I was God".

Meaning, if I was God, the creator of Earth...

I din't create the earth as far as I can remember....


and I have no knowledge of any other earths....hiding.
