Single Idea 20628
[filed under theme 27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 1. Relativity / a. Special relativity
]
Full Idea
Electric and magnetic phenomena are profoundly intertwined; what you interpret as electric or magnetic thus depends on your own motion.
Gist of Idea
The electric and magnetic are tightly linked, and viewed according to your own motion

A Reaction
This sounds like an earlier version of special relativity.
