Ah, there is it! The point we've been trying to press lo these many weeks! The "tendency
towards the orbit being deflected". Lets discuss that! Where does this tendency set in? At
what point, in the curvature does this occur or not occur? What influences this tendency?
Why does this tendency have an effect, per you, on what you assume to be long period
ellipses, but NOT on hyperbolic orbits?
Inquiring minds what to know! Please explain this "tendency" in your laws of gravity and
motion, we dare you! Stating the comet is drawing geometry does not count. They've been
skipping school forever and getting away with it. Put your laws together and MAKE
THEM WORK! That is, if you can.
