"If the electrical force of attraction is 39 orders of magnitude* greater than the gravitational attractive force then why not use electrical propulsion to fly?" - Pimander

* That is a number so large that we can hardly fathom it: roughly the ratio of the size of the observable universe to the size of an atomic nucleus. Relatively speaking, at short distances the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces all have comparable strengths, 39 orders of magnitude stronger than gravity.

I contend that gravity is just as strong as the other forces, with (as Dr. LaViolette describes in His Subquantum Kinetics) negatively charged particles having negative gravity, and positive particles having positive gravity - and with the positive gravity being a very small fraction greater than the negative gravity.

Thus, with accretions of matter - planet-sized, say - the NET slightly positive gravity is observable.  This makes better sense than the idea that gravity is ONLY positive, unlike ALL the other forces, and 39 orders of magnitude weaker than the rest.
