I think you’re conflating gravity and magnetism... Also, an interesting thing is that the gravity field at the ISS is almost as strong as on the ground. That’s why “freefall” is a better term than “zero-g”.

I think you are confused. You don't float when gravity is the same as on earth. Otherwise we'll ail be floating.
Do you float in your house everyday?
