A consequence of this is that the repelling force between two positively charged surfaces is a tiny bit stronger than the repelling force between negatively charged surfaces. (Remember, neutrinos carry footprints of opposite charge to what they have last interacted with.)
When we add up all the different types of collisions between two neutral bodies, we get that repulsion comes out a tiny bit less strong than attraction. We end up with a tiny attracting force.
Since neutrinos are so small that they easily pass through large bodies of matter, they carry information, not only from the surface of a body, but from the entirety of a body. The grand total of information-carrying neutrino collisions between two bodies is gigantic, so even a tiny discrepancy between attraction and repulsion adds up to a considerable force when bodies get as large as our planet.
This force, which we have arrived at purely on basis of theory, is what we call gravity. Gravity is due to a tiny imbalance in the electric force, and that is why Newton's universal law of gravity looks so much like Coulomb's law:
Comparing Coulomb's law to Newton's law
Coulomb's law ignores the tiny discrepancy between electric attraction and electric repulsion, and for good reasons. The discrepancy is in the order of a trillionth of a trillionth. Newton's law, on the other hand, is all about the discrepancy. Inertial mass is Newton's proxy value for the total number of positive and negative charge quanta in a body, and G is a proxy for k.
Finally, it should be noted that the logic and theory used here to explain gravity is identical to what was used to explain the enormous size of protons relative to electrons. Two seemingly unrelated phenomena have thus been explained by a single principle of theory.
