More thoughts on the relativistic sphere. I talked to my roomate about it, she has no idea either.
The problem I have with the length contraction causing a field is that in the rest frame of the sphere, there is no field. I have no idea what acceleration would do to it. I'll go ask a prof on friday. This is interesting.
