(Begin ZetaTalk[TM])
Can't you see what you are saying here, and relate it to the conversation at hand? You're claiming that the long ellipse comet, when leaving the sun and going into the long stretch, will retain in memory the curve it had and continue to play out this curve while far out in space - FOR NO REASON. Yet a decathlon disc goes straight, does NOT retain the tight curve it had just a moment before. Your laws of motion declare this, but because your law of how an elliptical orbit operates ignores your law of motion, you simply cannot put them together! Thus we have all these humans, discombobulated, staring at the facts and insisting we are wrong when its obvious! Deal with what you've just admitted to! Deal with the facts!

And having dealt with that, explain how a comet leaving the Solar System, going into the long stretch, would find it had to curve when way out in space. What is the INFLUENCE that causes an essentially straight line to become a curve?
