> The gravity of the sun and the planets cannot be as weak as you think. We have satelites around the Earth. We slingshot some of our space probes around planets or the sun. We can spot planets around nearby stars by the way the star wobbles. The sun is holding all the solar system planets in orbit. Comets come back and forth from around the sun.-First you are talking about tremendous mass differences between dense objects with low relative velocity. If you tried to slingshot objects of equal mass, that would not work at all, if you tried with objects consisting of little, or widely separated mass, such as a gas nebula, you should see gas 'streamers' breaking away from the cloud . -Secondly, I would be highly suspect of star 'wobble' being a product of gravity. Stars being primarily plasma, are made up of negatively charged particles, and thus have both attractive and repulsive properties for positive and negative magnetic fields respectively. Considering that these fields occur at the atomic level as well, they could account for far more than we currently know.-(Sorry this is a little rushed. Today is crew change! Woohoo... going home back to the U.S. so I won't be online for a couple of days while traveling)
