Abstract: Using a PASCAL program to follow the evolution of two gravitating particles in 2+1 dimensions we find solutions in which the particles wind around one another indefinitely. As their center of mass moves `tachyonic' they form a Gott-pair. To avoid unphysical boundary conditions we consider a large but closed universe. After the particles have evolved for some time their momenta have grown very large. In this limit we quantize the model and find that both the relevant configuration variable and its conjugate momentum become discrete.
