In a note entitled “An Optical Stretcher” in Physics Update (Physics Today, Physics Today 0031-9228 54 11 2001 9 https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2405681 November 2001, page 9 ), the term “center of gravity” is incorrect. The correct term is “center of mass.” Gravity has nothing to do with conservation of momentum.
