Is it possible for a charged, fast-moving object to slow down and enter geo-stationary orbit? [migrated]
I've had a wild idea which I can not discuss at length in this forum, but it comes down to the following problem:
A sphere of radius R=~10μm and mass m=~10-16Kgr is travelling towards the earth at v ...
