 Maybe I misunderstand, but it's not disputed that the Earth is negatively charged. That means everything has a downward bias towards ground or counterspace by default. Mainstream physics tried to make this overly complicated to understand, obfuscating it with ridiculous equations.

And yes, the concepts have to work so that they are believable. Everything has transforms and would work the same whether or not the Earth is moving. GPS uses coordinate systems based on geocentric models. This is one thing people fails to understand. Engineering, flights, etc. all would work the same way because they are all based off of the assumption of a stationary, non-rotating plane. 

Things fall down, no one disputes that. The mechanisms for why things fall down are up for debate.

 I am aware that strongly charged objects can pull upwards. I'm not sure that gravity is just a consequence of electrical and magnetic forces because it's change with distance follows a different rule. Still open to reevaluate some of the assumptions they did in the last 70 years.

 If you dig into the topic, it makes far more sense than the stuff we're all taught. But I also think it requires re-examination of fields, dielectricity and magnetism because they are all related. People are starting to figure it out - I just saw this on twitter.

 Fact is. The correlation between electric and magnetic field is well known. I am radioamateur and I know antennas quite well. Usually I build them. On the other hand I have heard of some deviation of gravity caused by strong electric fields or fast moving materials. I know some experiments and it works. Why it works is another thing because it could just be cracks in the laws of physics caused by the granular characteristic of space. There are some weird electrical experiment that clearly indicate some fields project into an imaginary dimension. I call it imaginary because we use imaginary numbers in the equation and it works. The fact is that we must distinguish between what is interesting and what is useful. Some of those weird thing are exploited, some other have such a negligible effect that cannot be used for something.
