It can be used to explain and predict weight anomalies. The gravitational mass-density (as distinguished from the inertial mass-density) of a _macroscopic_ body would vary inversely with the distribution of net charge through out the body. Since the weight of a body is equal to the body's gravitational mass-density times its volume multiplied by the gravitational acceleration, the weight of the body will depend on the distribution of charges.
