Abstract
This paper shows how the phenomenon of gravitational attraction can arise from known Electrodynamics when it is combined with ideas from the discipline of Statistical Mechanics. The key input from Electrodynamics is the classical understanding about magnetic interactions between tiny current elements. The key input from Statistical Mechanics is the classical idea of distribution among possible energy states based on maximum entropy.
