100% absolutely false, for one thing asteroids exert gravity but have no electromagnetic field.

Why do you think that?

Please keep personal ideas like this in the Speculations forum. Take a moment to read the rules of this specific forum - you are gonna need to defend your idea otherwise it gets locked.

 

First point is Mordreds question regarding uncharged asteroids. Soapboxing and continued assertion will result in a locked thread.

Do you have any evidence to support this?

 

There is all sorts of evidence that shows it to be wrong. For example:

- Electromagnetic fields can be blocked (e.g. by metal), gravity can't.

- Objects with no charge are affected by gravity.

- Electromagnetic forces both atrract and repel, gravity doesn't.

- Magnetism is a dipole and thus falls off as an inverse-cube law, gravity follwos an inverse square laqw

- The same is true if you consider the electric charges within atoms and molecules as dipoles (which is only valid in certain circumstances)

 

Those are the ones that occur to me immediately. I'm sure there are others.

... If suddenly there were no thunderstorms on the earth for a very long period of time, then the earth would start losing its gravitational pull.

There have never been any thunderstorms on the moon, yet it has gravity.

So you are wrong.
