And you know, a magnet easily overpowers gravity even with steel balls of measurable weight.
If a standard not powerful magnet can pick up a steel ball bearing against all the force of Earth's gravity, how much less will gravity effect a loose electron?
That's not saying gravity has no effect on an electron.
Neither am I saying that gravity is a dipole-generated field,
but this from Bengt
many electric fields competing and mostly cancelling each other which is why the electric field concept becomes more trouble than it's worth when it comes to gravity.
I agree with.
Hence I started the
Overlapping Fields thread.

Hi Paul,
I also agree with Bengt that whenever we measure a negligible electric field, we are ACTUALLY measuring a large electric field coming from positive and negative electrons, separately, which cancel out. This actually already has a scientific term: "superposition" of fields
My problem with Bengt is he wants there to be a dipole-generated electric field, which attracts other dipoles, but for some inexplicable reason can't attract/repel excesses of charge when they're bound to a foil, just because he knows this invalidates his theory.
So, when you stop and read this critically, does it still make sense to you...
Conducting metals will shield electric fields. However, the lack of movement of electrons in response to gravity explains why we cannot shield against gravity by simply standing on a metal sheet. As an electrical engineer wrote, “we [don’t] have to worry about gravity affecting the electrons inside the wire leading to our coffee pot.” [19] If gravity is an electric dipole force between subatomic particles, it is clear that the force “daisy chains” through matter regardless of whether it is conducting or non-conducting.
Read carefully, and logically, this is what the above is saying, in a nutshell...
Conducting metals will shield electric fields. If gravity is an electric field, it is clear that the force “daisy chains” through conducting metals.
