You could make the analogy to electric forces, as was done with early atomic models. However, accelerating charges emit EM radiation at a far greater rate than accelerating masses emit gravitational waves.
Therefore, purely classical electric force orbits will quickly destabilize. Objects governed by significant electromagnetic forces can't be in freefall and therefore can't experience weightlessness.
It is worth remembering that all charged fundamental particles are massive, but some massive particles are uncharged. Therefore, gravity acts in the complete absence of EM forces, but EM forces are always accompanied by gravity.
This can't be true, as we can experimentally see clumps of dark matter. For dark matter to be the universe itself then that would mean that there's more "universe" in some parts of the universe than others. This is a reply to @mpc755
Hard to believe this is still controversial a century after Einstein theory of general relativity and given how many times he was proven right.
What if all my cells were magnetic and I orbit a huge iron mass in flat space. Do I feel a force keeping me in orbit? Am I in free fall, weightless?
Magnetic forces cannot cause stable orbits. See Bertrand's theorem. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand's_theorem

What you are mistaking for clumps of dark matter is the state of displacement of the dark matter.
Great post! I have read many Substacks, but this is the first that has impressed me enough to subscribe to. Keep it up!
Dark matter is the fabric of spacetime.
