An orbit commonly refers to the path of a repetitive
movement. From the perspective of physics, on
the other hand, an orbit can only be established and
properly function when the presence of two bodies
is a prerequisite. In other words, orbiting is not the
independent action of a singular body that proceeds on
its own, it is the consequential action of two bodies in
the effect of gravitation. One of the two bodies acts as a
focus of the other, which revolves around the former in
a circular, elliptical or parabolic path. Behind the body
that moves, there exists the other body, which enables
it to move, and the force that mediates the two bodies.
Based on the aforementioned facts, we might also think
of a moving body and its time.
A body orbits in an ellipse.
It takes ( ) for a body to complete one orbit.
Suppose that another body that served as a focus in
creating this orbit disappears at a certain point.
A body will not move in the same way anymore.
The time of a body will not be repeated every ( ) any
longer.
Thus ( ) is the time invented by two bodies under the
force of gravitation.
Therefore an orbit should be understood as one form
of time.
Orbital Studies is a study to reflect time as an orbit.
Time which has its origin in the gravitational force of the
other. A performance as a site for an orbiting body of
