That's a pretty broad question. What are your thoughts on it?

well i mean you know how magnets attract each other would it be possible to not only use a magnet on iron but be able to attract more objects other than that.

Well, magnets attract ferrous metals, not just iron, but there's no apparent connection to gravity.
