I didn't. Einstein did. I wish people would stop confusing me with 
Einstein.

I don't know what your point is, but physicists say time runs 
backward for some energies in the universe. I think it's appalling. 
Time stands still for me often enough. If it starts running backward 
that's a hell of a mess.

Nope. Until Newton published his Principia celestial mechanics was a 
mystery.

Also, a circle is a special case of an ellipsis and it is true that 
planetary orbits are ellipses.
