Do we know that it balances exactly? Perhaps cl

This requires either gravity or some other force to be communicated much faster than is normal EM radiation.
No communication is possible at speeds faster than light speed.

Frank, your emphasis is on conservation of momentum, which is important
but not sufficient. You also introduce the mechanism of sensing the existence
of a fixed field, which is irrelevant. I ask how a structure can
form when the time needed for one part to sense the characteristics of

The induced field is not superluminal. Take the electric force for example. The force between two charges is equal and opposite. The system conserves momentum. Now one charge is moved. It moves into in the established field of the first electron and immediately fields the force. No time delay
