i got another theory, maybe we do orbit in a circle but the line is not straight? have i confused ya? when you walk on a surface which is entirely flat but in circles at equal length, compare it to walking in circles but with different steepnesses of the walking surface? the length would be a little bigger.

I have to agree with Amory about your Gravitation link E_T..
There was a DOS version years ago that I used to mess with.

It takes the earth to orbit the sun 365.25 days in a year. In a circle, there is 360 degrees. There is no such thing as a perfect circle. I know the Earth doesnt orbit the sun in a complete circle, does that mean gravity isnt balance to make a close enough perfect circle? Gravity is a force so something must push the Earth a little to make it a little oval shape. Or maybe the degrees of the circle are miscalculated?

There is supposly 365 days in a year and every 4th year is a leap year making it a 366th day right.
Now applying the 360 to complete the circle as what comes around goes around.
And the 5 remaining days are your 5 senses see,taste,smell,hear and touch.
If you then learn to apply 360 degrees of knowledge to each individual sense you will gain the 6th sense.
Well don't mind me, just wanted to share that with anyone who can use it.
