Well, it should raise some Cain, but given the physics establishment's record of ignoring all the elephants wandering around in their living room, I wouldn't count on it. My own rudimentary experiments showing that objects with the same electrostatic charge can be made to attract in close enough proximity are pointedly ignored by most anyone I show them to.
