Apparently, objects in orbit are following the law of
Rock-on-the-End-of-a-String as well as the Law of the Magical
Ellipse. A body free to move in a gravity field always moves in
conic sections? Is this what happens when an object thrown from
an airplanes plummets to Earth? Are they not in a gravity field?
- How does your theory of how an orbiting object behaves
line up with vector analysis? This might look good on
paper for a circular orbit, but what happens when the
orbit becomes a long ellipse? The two vectors producing a
curve are pushing the comet away from the Sun and to one
side, Side A as it is leaving the Solar System, yet
somehow the vector pushing the comet to side A SWITCHES
DIRECTION and pushed the comet to Side B far out in
space? What occurred for that to happen?
- How does your theory hold up against your laws of
gravity? An object attracted by another due to gravity
HEADS DIRECTLY FOR IT. The comet when out in space, will
at all times have MORE reason to move directly for the
Sun than to move dramatically to the side. Do your moving
airplanes, on a forward thrust parallel to the surface of
the Earth, not plummet DIRECTLY to Earth in short order
when they lose their wings?
- How does your theory hold up against your laws of motion,
which state that a moving object moves in a straight line
unless perturbed? What perturbation can occur to cause a
comet to move from Side A to Side B when out in space? If
you had a second focus way out there, and the comet were
circling BOTH the Sun and this second focus, then you
might have a case, but there is NO second focus, per you,
out there. What perturbs the comet out there?
