Hello Grag,

Unlike the other forces that can both repel and attract, gravity always
attracts. Matter consists of a mixture of positively and negatively charged
particles. Hence the electromagnetic force will cancel out over large
distances. Gravity does not, there is no such thing as negative mass...

So although the other forces are much stronger, gravity is the dominant
force over large distances.


Cheers, Michiel
