I often enough wonder if London Dispersion could be the driving force behind gravity, of course, without any evidence I sound like a nut job but I just find the gravitational and electromagnetic forces curiously similar. London Dispersion occurs within ALL atoms and creates a slight pull of each atom towards the other. Gravity occurs in ALL matter and produces a slight pull between everything.
London Dispersion occurs because of random polarity within atoms. Although, extremely weak, it sight is something we are able to measure and observe. Not to mention that both gravity and electromagnetism both work off of the inverse square law. I don't think anyone could deny that the are somewhat similar. But a possible "hole" is that the electromagnetic force attracts and repels, whereas, the gravitational force simply attracts. I'm not sure if we will ever unite the four fundamental forces (I'm hopeful thought) but I just feel the need to point out this tease of symmetry nature throws at us every once in a while.
