I'm not sure what you mean by frequency attracting things?

Magnets can be used to launch ship. Instead of pulling, can you push with a powerful frequency?

I do not know :p

"the frequency effects that can occur when a harmonic oscilator is disturbed by a second oscillator operating at a nearby frequency. When the coupling is strong enough and the frequencies near enough, the second oscillator can capture the first oscillator, causing it to have essentially identical frequency as the second. This is injection locking. When the second oscillator merely disturbs the first but does not capture it, the effect is called injection pulling. Injection locking and pulling effects are observed in numerous types of physical systems"

If this effect can ever be used to pull 2 objects near eachother(when strong enough?) then might that same behaviour be possible on objects in space cause those also have frequencies?

This is a very dreamy speculation and it should be called a question to be factual but it is just interesting to think about.

Interesting.

Perhaps one day we'll understand how gravity (waves) work and figure out a way to generate them. Make the whole ship 'fall' to where you want it to go, or a whole planet or star would be a good way to travel.
