Atomic Theory of Gravity

The astute observer will note upon reading a previous paper of mine, The
Electro-Magnetic Connection: Magnetism as an Emergent Function of Electric
Force, that this very same principle shouldn’t only apply to magnetically
active elements, but indeed every element in existence.
Allow me to demonstrate this principle. Let us suppose that two hydrogen
atoms are in close proximity. For simplicity’s sake they are both
comprised of one proton and one electron. Because of the velocity with
which these electrons orbit their respective proton nucleus, there are many
instances where the electrons aren’t aligned (or in close proximity) in
between the protons of their respective nucleus. Electromagnetic force
would now serve to pull the atoms closer together, as the electron of the
first hydrogen atom would be attracted to both its own proton and its
neighbors, tugging on them both, while the second atom’s electron would do
the same.
The question of why gravity is the weakest fundamental force has been an
issue of some controversy, sparking the inception of string theory and its
ilk, but this problem is resolved in this theory in that there are times,
during the electrons’ orbit of their nucleus wherein they come into close
proximity with their neighbor’s electron(s), gently repelling (or at least
suspending) the attraction of gravity as an emergent function of
electromagnetic force.
As I’ve said in The Electro-Magnetic Connection: Magnetism as an Emergent
Function of Electric Force, this is something that we would expect to
happen given our understanding of electromagnetic force, and everything
that is not forbidden in physics is compulsory this must indeed be the
acting component of the force of gravity.
