You beat me to it! Well, better late than never - my train of thought was to ask, How bogus would real science look if typed like that? The ORBIT of a planet is an ELLIPSE, with the SUN at one FOCUS! Every BODY persists in a state of REST, or of UNIFORM MOTION in a STRAIGHT LINE, unless acted upon by an EXTERNAL FORCE! The planet VENUS is a COMET, ejected from JUPITER, that has had several CLOSE ENCOUNTERS with the EARTH! Oh dear, one of those is wrong, isn't it? This style does rather numb the critical faculties.
