Default Re: Tractor Beams: can they pull you in, then slingshot you out the other way?

i believe the answer is YES

capnq - your right, but there is the g equation which im lazy enough to not go and find my physics datasheet to see. the difference between Earth's and Sun's mass is quite enough to overcome the acceleration difference. As a matter of fact, on universal scale, the sun is moving faster than the earth does.
