I created that list from memory.

Not at all.

You cannot change the direction of the momentum without the
application of force. This causes change in kinetic energy, either to
increase or decrease.

Circular orbits do not occur for the clear mechanical reasons I have
described. This is basically a rendition of the same conclusion
reached by Newton.

Academic theoreticians may imagine to superseed Newton and Kepler, but
Keplers first law is valid which states that all orbits are ellipses.

In order for the orbital body to be at the point which is at the same
orbital radius in one second, it must have over this distance the
average velocity which will bring it to this point. In order to have
this average velocity, which is the addition of the gravitational
vectors to the intitial velocity, it will have added final velocity
which is 2 times greater than this average velocity which is added
from the gravitation.

Therefore it will not have the same velocity and it will not be able
to maintain the exact 90deg angle of it's momentum to the
gravitational force.

There is no situation in a gravitational field in which the gravity
does not change the kinetic energy. The velocity is either increased
or decreased at any point.

Irritated eric, thinks hes at home and is the center of attention of
his mommie. Does anyone care about your petulant little narcissistic
life??? Do you expect us to believe at any time that you even can
expose the truth??

Do you think you have submitted enough indirect evidence that you are
not a pure idiot??

Bodies orbit in a plane because of Newtons law of motion in which all
objects travel in a straight line. Angular momentum may be conserved,
but the angular momentum of two different orbits has no relevance to
this statement.

All the complexity you portray is not needed. I guarantee that I have
seen proper orbital mechanics done by a proper astrophysist, so you
certainly are not fooling me with this balderdash. You only learned
this in your mental masturbation school of theoretical physics. Maybe
your mommie or yourself is impressed.

In the meantime it is all meant to support your stupid ideas from the
Neils Bohr theory of orbital motion, that orbits are akin to the
rotation of a flywheel. A greater radius flywheel rotates slower with
the same kinetic energy as one with shorter radius. This is not
analogous to orbital mechanics, as mean orbital velocity diminishes as
a^3/p^2 for different radius orbits. This is due mainly to the
diminshment of the gravitational force as an inverse square.

Orbits with lower orbital radius, have higher mean orbital velocity.
These orbits with less area, are in regions that have higher
gravitational force and must have higher velocity to have equilibrium.
Too low orbital velocity causes an object to remain in a quadrant of
the gravitational field for too long, and to gain far too much
velocity. This velocity slings it to greater orbital radius.

Always of greatest importance is the angle and angles of the momentum
to the gravitational force. Too great of velocity for mean orbital
radius, causes the object to acheive an angle that is too great to the
source of gravity. This also causes it to remain in a quadrant for too
long. But the angles at which it is affected by the gravity are
different and it achieves an orbit with less area.

Orbits of equal area have equal energy. This is where one begins with
proper orbital mechanics.

I think one of Zeno's paradoxes is throwing you off. The vectors are
tangent to the circle, which involves calculating with infinitesimal
quantities approaching zero as a limit, not discrete steps.

Consider a thought experiment by changing scale down to smaller masses,
where gravity is negligible, and substituting a fixed length
massless tether. In free fall, wouldn't it be possible to "orbit" a small
(1kg) mass around a much larger (1000kg) mass in a circular motion,
constrained by the tether?

Assuming no friction, how could the KE change around the orbit? What's
the difference between force applied by a physical tether in this case and
gravity at a constant distance in the celestial case?
