A unit ball along with the possibility of doing linear transformations on the unit ball are dependencies for constructing an ellipse.
:)
The physics metaphor is meant to communicate that you can have different materials (like aluminum or air), depending on the combinations or parameters used for a particular ellipsis case. And the physics or dynamics of ellipses would be the study of how the combinations on the dependencies (that is, the atomic elements) create different ellipsis shapes and properties.
