Abstract
Some time ago, the editor asked this author to review the manuscript submitted by Jaroslav Kopernicky suggesting that the attractive force between unlike electrical charges may be slightly greater than the repulsive force between like charges. Since all electrically neutral bodies are composed of combinations of positive and negative charges, Kopernicky suggested that this slight difference might account for gravitational forces. This paper seeks to analyze Kopernicky's concept.
