Yeah, I know it's impossible... it's just... I don't get why. Ohh well, **** it.

Perhaps I should have referred to this as a thought experiment? I don't see how the law of conservation of momentum applies to what I said because it refers to regular matter. Matters attraction would bring them together but how could confined light work the same? It seems to me like only that...

I figured the weighted side would be attracted to the light's gravitational field at the center of the sphere so it would move toward it. But since the light would still remain at the center it would still be attracted. I know it would violate the laws of conservation and therefore won't work...

I was reading about how an astronaut came up with an idea to change the trajectory of meteors by bringing a spacecraft close to them where it's gravitational field would eventually move it slightly. It made me wonder if you couldn't use light like that. So say (hypothetically of course)...
