^^ agreed.
Yes, physics, not philosophy, but I am felxible...
This is based on Newtons Law of Motion.
The dualism in Quantum Theory is that of the particle and the wave. A wave circling around a nucleus can for geometrical reasons only be a stationary wave; and the perimeter of the orbit must be an integer multiple of the wave length. As the object moves sideways, it falls toward the central body. However, it moves so quickly that the central body will curve away beneath it. A force, such as gravity, pulls the object into a curved path as it attempts to fly off in a straight line. As the object moves sideways (tangentially), it falls toward the central body. However, it has enough tangential velocity to miss the orbited object, and will continue falling indefinitely.
That is a very basic explanation of the orbit. Any orbit. Literally defined as "the curved path"
An open orbit has the shape of a hyperbola (when the velocity is greater than the escape velocity), or a parabola (when the velocity is exactly the escape velocity). The bodies approach each other for a while, curve around each other around the time of their closest approach, and then separate again forever.
This is kind of like people, if you really think about it.
We are drawn to each other, we become infatuated...obsessed.
Shakespear said it best:
"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
And when we are spent we fly off back into the abyss from which we came....
Isnt life beautiful ?
