gollark: You did not. How does the paper talk about "magnetism having an effect on gravity"?
gollark: Explain how it is first.
gollark: It's not saying that.
gollark: As best I can tell this is saying something about a "gravitomagnetic" effect and (best attempt to parse the insanity) you're trying to go from some reference to that to "so obviously something something gravity magnetism" to "everything is electromagnetism, electric universe, intergalactic Birkeland currents".
gollark: Not really?
