In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of an object around a point in space, for example the orbit of a planet around the center of a star system, such as the Solar System. Orbits of planets are typically elliptical.
Current understanding of the mechanics of orbital motion is based on Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accounts for gravity as due to curvature of space-time, with orbits following geodesics. For ease of calculation, relativity is commonly approximated by the force-based theory of universal gravitation based on Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Historically, the apparent motions of the planets were first understood geometrically (and without regard to gravity) in terms of epicycles, which are the sums of numerous circular motions. Theories of this kind predicted paths of the planets moderately well, until Johannes Kepler was able to show that the motions of planets were in fact (at least approximately) elliptical motions.
In the geocentric model of the solar system, the celestial spheres model was originally used to explain the apparent motion of the planets in the sky in terms of perfect spheres or rings, but after the planets' motions were more accurately measured, theoretical mechanisms such as deferent and epicycles were added. Although it was capable of accurately predicting the planets' position in the sky, more and more epicycles were required over time, and the model became more and more unwieldy.
Plot
Eddie Kasalivich, an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, works as a technician for a scientific team that discovers an alternative, low-cost, pollution-free fuel source. When one of the chief scientists is murdered and the invention stolen, Eddie and physicist Lily Sinclair are framed for it and have to flee for their lives, with the FBI, CIA and other involved parties in close pursuit. Paul Shannon, Eddies mentor, is the director of a scientific company which - unknown to Eddie - has commercial interests in the invention. Eddie and Lily set out to find the stolen invention and hopefully clear themselves of the false charges.

Paul Shannon: I wish you wouldn't threaten to kill my scientists right to their faces!
Eddie Kasalivich: I think your experiment just got a mind of its own.
Dr. Lily Sinclair: So, is this how you seduce all the girls?::Eddie Kasalivich: Only physicists with hypothermia who are accused of being a terrorist.
FBI Agent Ford: Hundred bucks, kid didn't do it.::FBI Agent Doyle: You got a nationwide manhunt for an innocent man?::FBI Agent Ford: Make sure nobody shoots him.
Lily Sinclair: I'm being framed.
FBI Agent Ford: Ma'am, we just had eight city blocks disappear. The President of the United States talked to my boss at three this morning, he wants answers.
Lyman Collier: If someone's going down for this, it is not going to be I.
Eddie Kasalivich: He was a 60 year old scientist who did nothing but good and they put a bag over his head.
FBI Agent Doyle: Holy!... did you see that?::FBI Agent Ford: Whoa!
Paul Shannon: Do you understand the concept, Lyman... Poor Impulse Control?
As I watch the day
I am so amazed by what you do
When I close my eyes
I am mesmerized by thoughts of you
Sometimes I can disappear
I let your love surround me
Little things that I hold dear
Are flowing down around me
Chorus:
Even now I know
This orbit that I'm in
It's spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
Completely lost in you
Every dream I hide
Give them wings so they can fly to you
As I wait to find
All I have in mind for me to be
My renditions fade away
I offer no resistance
Take me up into your space
Into your existence
Ooh...
[Repeat Chorus]
It is clear to me
I'm nowhere to be without you
It's true
You're my gravity
And I can never doubt you
I'm lost in you
"look how much has happened
in such a short time"
she says to him
one husband, one wife
two kids, carpools and saturday rides
she says, "so why am i unhappy with my life?"
You race toward something
you don't know what you'll find
but you'll notice it
when you see it, you say
there must be more out there
waiting silently
you know your place
but you hate it just the same
so leave before the harvest
She knows that everything seems all right
but surfaces can hide what's inside
he says,"i love you but i'm reflecting less light
than when i was a child of the night"
You race toward something
you don't know what you'll find
but you'll notice it
when you see it, you say
there must be more out there
waiting silently
you know your place
but you hate it just the same
so leave before the harvest
say goodbye to your life
Complacency has wrapped you
inside her sheet
you wish for something to come
and save you
but no one comes
you must take care of yourself
we all learn that
You breathe the same,
believed you walk away,
like I never meant nothing.
I need to win, I just can't stop.
It seems the dream is merely guillotine,
I never saw it coming.
I can't believe you let it drown.
But then you had to ride,
the day you left my mind,
that we should catch up some time.
You've gone now,
you've made it clear,
you have stop,
touching the ground.
You cannot,
leave me here.
So why don't you,
come back down?
Come down.
You change the same,
by seeing you every day.
Your sunlight's spinning.
You're on a flight, you never boarded.
The sky and I will only fight for one.
I thought I was winning, I can't believe,
you still ain't boarding.
But then you had to ride,
the day you left my mind,
that we should catch up some time.
You've gone now,
you've made it clear,
that you have stop,
touching the ground.
You cannot,
leave me here.
So why don't you,
come back down?
Come down.
My mind, my heart, my pulse, my veins
My sweat, my neves
Might dull the pain
My mind, my God, my God is silence
Don't talk, don't move, don't say a thing
Don't push, don't pull, don't pull away
My mind becomes
Becomes deep inside
Yeah
To sit, to stand , to walk, to be
My mind, my mind
Becomes complete
Don't wait don't get
Don't get excited
Exhale inhale and cease to be
Don't talk, don't think
No sound is real
To rest the rest
What lies ahead I do not know
I have been here for years
With these cold walls around me
I am in this chamber and I don’t know why
Send me into orbit
Take me away
Cause I feel so lost down here
I will try to get up
To leave these walls behind me
To feel
The way I used to feel
To reveal
Take my hands
Take my arms
Take my light
If you don't I'm going home
Tie my hands
Tie my tongue
The poison haze
It comes over me again
Yeah, the poison in my head
Would it make me brave
The poison in my veins
Could it make me clean
Take my toys
Take my friends
Shed my skin
You won't ever see again
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, the poison in my head
Would it make me brave
The poison in my brain
Push down the gas
and I feel like the color of midnight
Night on the shield and whell and I'm in for the ride
And no one, no no one knows nothing
No one no no one knows shit
Feell the warmth and the warmth and the warmth and the warmth of the engine
The hum and the hum and the hum and the hum of the wheels
I could be yeah, I could be your lover
I could be yeah, I could be surreal
Just a kiss and I'll bet you'll see yeah
Just a kiss and I'll bet you'll see
Sleep in feel and seal of the pusher of misery
Step in the car and I'll take you down for the ride
I don't want you
I don't want you maybe
You can't tell me how I really feel
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
She's just the sound of the motor
She's just the sound of the motor
I'm under covers
I'm under waters
Check out the fish and
Check out the blue and green
Breath in the colors
Breath in the waters
Breath in the liquids
Breath in the blue and green
I don't want to wake up
I'm overcome and I'm over everything
Up above the trees
Up above your head
I'm the sonic boom
Got no gravity
Up above the land
I'm the flying man
I don't want to wake up
I've had fifteen dreams she said
One for every lover's bed
Medicine suckers all of the time
Cotton balls and iodine
Mommy said, "Don't you go in there"
The girl has got rockets in her hair
She will be my valentine
Medicine skin all will be mine
Mommy said, "Don't you go in there"
The girl has got rockets in her hair
Pills and potions and ether air
Beds and bugs everywhere
Mommy said, "Baby don't you stare"
As I watch the day
I am so amazed by what you do
When I close my eyes
I am mesmerized by thoughts of you
Sometimes, I can disappear
And let your love surround me
The little things that I hold, dear
Are falling down around me
Even now I know this orbit that I'm in
Is spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
Completely lost in you
Every dream I hide
Give them wings so they can fly to you
As I wait to find
All you have in mind for me to be
My ambitions fade away
They offer no resistance
Take me up into your space
Into your existence
Even now I know this orbit that I'm in
Is spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
Completely lost in you
It is clear to me
I've nowhere to be without you, it's true
You're my gravity and I could never doubt you
I'm lost in you
Even now I know this orbit that I'm in
Is spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
Even now I know this orbit that I'm in
Is spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
Even now I know this orbit that I'm in
Is spinning me to you
I am silenced by the will of my intent
To only be with you
I got the car
To see the world

Beat up pile V8 Ford

All the time
She's a car broken down out on the highway
She's a good little girl but her daddy don't know
I said my bed is just a moment away
She stops herself , she holds herself, and she shakes her head
She says, "I'm all alone in thsi town
I'm gonna buy myself some brand new things
I'm gonna get myself together
I'm gonna break myself and take myself to some other time
A brand new dress, some brand new shoes, a brand new cup for tea
Don't burn yourself, don't hurt yourself, don't fall down on your face
I made my bed, I'm gonna sleep in it
But I'm gonna get myself some clean new sheets
Baby come back
Make yourself whole
Baby come home
Choke the medicine down
Water well, wishing well, come wash me away
I think I hurt myself or cut myself on some other day
She says, "Don't think, it's no good for it all
Some days it's good, some days it's bad
Most days you can't wash it off"
When darkness comes
It finds you in your bed
Fast asleep with pictures in your head
And you're the gazer, serene and far away
Kelsea, won't you come out to play
I got my bicycle today
My father bought it for me
He said it cost him money
He's got a man in China
Who says he gets them cheaply
It's got a magic handle
It's got a chromed up fender
It's got a sprocket card and
It's got some superpowers
What a pretty bicycle she said
I want one just like that
Amiri won't you hear my song
I make it up as I go along
It's about a man in China
Who's got a wife and family
He sells his stuff for money
To feed his starving family
They got them fifteen babies
There's not a girl among them
He's got some super powers (2x)
What a pretty song he said
I want one just like that (2x)
Kelsea won't you come out tonight
Your body's burning just like mine
These are the things I bought you
These are the words I taught you
You've got a phony body
I want to touch so badly
I want to get so dirty
I want to give you money
I want to take your body
Tell me, I'll know
what a pretty song she said
Whe rips my mind out
she tears my tongue out
She pulls my brain out
And feeds it to me
She wants it so bad
The worst I ever had
But something's peculiar
And she says it to me
Oh, didn't anyone Oh, didn't anyone
Oh didn't anyone tell you 'bout me?
Make mine the real deal
She got a ghost and I cop a feel
Please make it easy
So I can't complain
She's like a brain drain
She's got a touch of the pain game
She makes me nervous
But I can't explain
(chorus)
Maybe I'm crazy
It's just she makes me hazy
I've got a feeling
That I can't explain
My mind, my heart, my pulse, my veins
My sweat, my neves
Might dull the pain
My mind, my God, my God is silence
Don't talk, don't move, don't say a thing
Don't push, don't pull, don't pull away
My mind becomes
Becomes deep inside
Yeah
To sit, to stand , to walk, to be
My mind, my mind
Becomes complete
Don't wait don't get
Don't get excited
Exhale inhale and cease to be
Don't talk, don't think
No sound is real
To rest the rest
The rest is silence
Don't know wy you won't
Dance with me
Don't know why you won't
Stand with me
Don't know you won't talk with me
Don't know why you won't play with me
Don't shake your head
Don't dig my scene
Don't break your bones
On my trampoline
Don't know why you won't
Come for me
Don't know why you won't
Pray for me
REPEAT CHORUS
Don't know why you won't
Make with me
Don't know why you won't
Take from me
The carnival came through today
She says I know what I'll be
And I'm in my head again
She says darkness never came for me
The freaks they walk by my room
One day they'll come and call
And they'll take me in
And they'll make me king
Of the carnival they are
Money counts for nothing, babe
When money comes for free
Money counts for nothing babe
In the carnival of freaks
She's in my bed again
Bust she says she's only killing time
And I'm in the waiting room
But it's slowly coming back with time
I'm on the rocking horse
But the rocking horse don't make no sense
I'm on the train again, get on the train again
Where it's all the freaks and me
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
Get on the train again
I'm on the train again
Get on the train again
