Kinda interesting, but the headline is hype. For 99.9999% of use cases, "parabola" is correct to within the limits of measurement. And the "correct" math - whether you stick to a Newtonian ellipse, or go all the way to General Relativity - is definitely more complex.

As is also explained by any decent physics teacher, even at high school level. Especially the part about air resistance.

There's no heresy. No one has been hoodwinked. This is just another one of those "you're doing it all wrong" articles.
