You've completely avoided the question! What is the DIFFERENCE between what you
call a hyperbolic orbit that will not return, and an elliptical orbit! They both, per you, have
a line attached from the object to the Sun, are heliocentric. They both, per you, have a
CURVE, however slight. Please address the point where the elliptical orbit makes the
mirror curve, per you, out in space so that it can return in a different place than whence it
left, and how that point differs in a hyperbolic orbit!

You've completely avoided the question, again! Is it the rule of the day, to avoid the
question? You're laws of gravity state that an object is attracted to another by an inverse
rule, and will move DIRECTLY to that object baring other forces. You have a long period
comet leaving, on the long shoot away, in what appears to be a straight line though we are
assured for the sake of YOUR argument, by you, that this is in fact a slight curve. As it
slows, why would it not return DIRECTLY to the Sun? What force is it that makes it go
into a curve, way out there in space? You can't say it's running a track out there, or drawing
geometry. Explain this in with your laws of motion and gravity.
