gollark: Well, actually, I guess your "shows gravity is related to magnetism" thing *is* specific and not supported by that.
gollark: You can't exactly be *wrong*, since you aren't making any specific claims.
gollark: It contains the word "gravitomagnetic". However, based on my advanced Wikipedia-looking-at abilities, I can see that that does not actually mean what you think it means.
gollark: Wow, you're backtracking lots.
gollark: You did not. How does the paper talk about "magnetism having an effect on gravity"?
