Ah, you've mentioned a point we'd like to address. You believe
that the comet, far out in space (whether you call this within
your Solar System or not), now SPEEDS UP AND ZIPS AROUND A CURVE
in order to make its return trip around the Sun. We've been
having endless problems getting anyone to explain what force
influences it to institute a curve way out there, so maybe we can
get you to address the issue of increased speed.
Why does it speed up, out there?
