I assume it has something to do with magnets? But I don’t think many ships use iron?

They use phased plasmatic waves generated by dilithium crystals to lock on to large objects like your mom.

Tractor beams work by firing a stream of highly focused and radially polarized protons that electrostatically traps the negatively charged energy of a spaceship, allowing it to be held in the stream.

Wait, it's "tractor" beam?

I always thought it was tracker beam. At least that makes sense.

Tractor is stupid. Who needs a tractor in space?

LINK

When a stream of light hits an object, it tends to move in the direction that the light is. However, some recent research has shown that with the right geometries, small microparticles can move in the opposite direction of the stream of photons.
