   How can I possibly agree to this? It is pseudo-scientific word salad,   
   bereft of meaning.   
      
   For example, an orbifold (orbit-manifold) does NOT have to do with orbits in   
   celestial mechanics, but with orbits as understood in *group theory*: "The   
   orbit of an element x in X is the set of elements in X to which x can be   
   moved by the elements of G [which is acting on X]:   
      
    G ⋅ x = {g ⋅ x : g ∈ G}."
