We've seen other proposals along these lines, i.e. gravity is some sort of interaction between magnetic dipoles, like your bar magnet. One of the things that spoils this idea is that the force between two magnets (dipoles) falls off as 1/r3, whereas the force of gravity does a very good impression of falling off as 1/r[sup2[/sup]. How do you explain this?
