Reply to comment by HomeAl0ne in Is it possible for two planets to orbit each other in a way where Planet A is tidally locked to the sun while Planet B is in geostationary orbit on the dark side of Planet A, thus putting Planet B in a constant total solar eclipse? by FenrirButAGoodBoy
As in that's a physical law? Or just we don't have examples to the contrary?

Physical law The further away you are the slower you rotate around the object.
