I stumbled with this paper that propose the idea that gravity could possibly be an Electrostatic force. I am no physicist but I would like to know your points of view about it, since gravity is a puzzling force.

I have also heard about some possible bizare phenomenon that might have a relationship between electricity and gravity, like the hutshinson effect, electrogravity, and some other theories like Stochastic Electrodynamics that claim that gravity could be a force that comes from the vacuum energy.

What do you guys make of this, could this ideas about gravity be fruitful?
