However, there are some areas where these ideas might be tested, though the effects would be very small. For example, earlier we saw that there was a contribution to the Bondi mass (an addition to the Reissner–Nordström mass) from the quadrupole moment,
There were predicted contributions to both the momentum and angular momentum flux from the gravitational and electromagnetic quadrupole radiation as well as new terms in the angular momentum flux equation, i.e., the charge/magnetic-dipole coupling term

This interpretation of this term is slightly ambiguous in that it could be identified, in the flux equation, as
either a contribution to the angular momentum flux (as we are suggesting now) or as a contribution to the
angular momentum itself. See Eq. (6.46).
There are other unfamiliar terms that can be thought of as predictions of this theoretical construct, though how to possibly measure them is not at all clear.
