You're admitting that the curve is not retained for the HORIZONTAL motion of the decathlon disc, but claim that it is retained for the VERTICAL motion of the disc. Huh! The reason the vertical goes up and then down is because it's directly parallel to the surface of the Earth, with an even gravitational tug to its SIDE. A comet heading out of the Soar System has the Sun to its BACK. What influence, way out in space, does it have then to make a sideways motion?
