About two decades ago I fell for an antigravity theory based on electrodynamics. The distance law is same for gravitic and electric fields (force is proportional to inverse distance squared). I found it an intriguing idea if gravity is something like an imbalance between the attracting and repulsing forces of electrodynamics.
I even asked my physics teacher about this and he just smiled and told me that he thinks this will lead to nowhere.
There are some fallacies which are hard to detect. One example is the Dissection Fallacy: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/DissectionFallacy.html https://mathworld.wolfram.com/DissectionFallacy.html
I never managed to understand the exact fallacy of the antigravity theory, however.
