Electrostatics in Ancient Times
Gravity is by forty orders of magnitude the weakest force in nature; it does not have the power to form solar systems up out of swirling dust or hold a spiral galaxy together.
Solar systems like ours begin as Herbig/Haro objects, a Herbig/Haro object or string being a cosmic Birkeland current with stars being formed at the electromagnetic pinch points where the current pairs cross each other; those electromagnetic pinches do have the power to agglomerate the plasma of space into stars. Such a structure looks like a string of Christmas lights that has been pulled taut or like a shish kabob with the shishes all lit up.
Our own system began in such a manner:

The central Birkeland current of our system was visible until a very recent prehistoric time. Egyptians called that the “Pillar of Shu” or “Djed Pillar”
The “Pillar of Shu” (the systemic Birkeland current) generated a massive static electrical field and surface charge on Earth and that had two effects that you would notice, involving gravity and communications.
As per Ralph Sansbury's thesis, gravity turns out to be a polarized electrostatic dipole effect:

Until some very recent point in time, gravity at the Earth's surface was being damped by a factor of at least three to one, allowing the existence of animals that would be crushed by their own weight in present gravity (logical consequence of the familiar square/cube problem).
Likewise many experiments with telepathy involve white noise chambers and static electricity is a wonderful way to obtain some white noise.
That gets into the area of making logical sense of Bible stories. One example, the fact that there is no real evidence for super families of human languages (e.g. "Nostratic") indicates that if the stony of the tower of Babel did not exist, we would have to invent it:
And, finally the question of static electricity and the so-called ark of the covenant:
