"Ashwini Kumar Lal, an official with the Town and Country Planning
Organisation of India's urban development ministry, has in his paper "On
Planetary Electromagnetism and Gravity" said that the gravitational pull
on earth and similar planets like Mars, Venus and Mercury is due to the
generation of electromagnetism within their interiors. "

That was an instant "stupid bull**** article" dismissal on google news.

Didn't even click, nor will I.

The best place to begin is to get hold of the original paper and see what
the man actually said. You're judging from some watered-down article
describing the paper. It may or may not be accurate; it may have nothing
to do with what Lal actually said.

The paper was peer-reviewed, which should suggest that it had some merit,
despite what a simple-minded description might seem to imply.

Of course, maybe he really *is* saying we're all stuck on the earth like
magnets on a refrigerator...
