Greg apparently belongs to what the Zetas describe as the Church of the Magical Ellipse

And Jim Scotti also is on bended knee!

Hahahahaha! So now the Church of the Magical Ellipse has a
trading booth? Put the laws you worship together, and see if they
can stand in each other's presence! Motion is forward, without
influences to either side. The law of gravity you cite requires
that an object will be pulled DIRECTLY toward the attractant.
Where does coasting to the side come in to play in the law of
gravity that you cite? Deal with the comet's position on the long
stretch as it leaves the Solar System. The Sun's gravity has
diminished, and the forward motion is slowing down. WHY would the
comet then assume a dramatic curve to the side rather than listen
to the Sun to its back?
