Careful calculations using classical field theory show that if a macroscopic ball with uniform surface charge (say, a billiard ball with lE6 excess electrons) is released near the surface of the earth, it will almost instantaneously accelerate to relativistic speed and blow a hole in the ground. Thi
A perturbation theory is developed for the interaction between free electromagnetic fields and weak gravitational fields. An effective four-current generator for the electromagnetic perturbation is explicitly derived. The theory is applied to calculate the change in the electromagnetic field and ene
