Do you mean what you get with two theoretically parallel wires of
infinite length and negligible cross section spaced one meter apart,
or what you actually get from stroking a cat or a rosined rod?
What about luminesence?
You can get that from vigorously rubbing two sticks together, or from
lots of pounding, bending or otherwise stressing metal: Look, but if
you touch, or look too close, you may get burnt.

Oh come now Bobby: Are you saying that weightless masses don't have
inertia? You must know by now, that the ratio of a force exerted on
and/or by any mass divided by the acceleration that it causes is a
measure of the quantity of matter in that mass; anywhere, anytime. Or
must I go over it all again?
