Removed temporary note; 5½ years is probably "later" enough.

| Sep 24, 2013 at 5:33 | comment | added | Michael | Perhaps the simplest thing is to note that the two relativistic invariants of the electromagnetic field are $\vec{E}\cdot\vec{B}$ and $E^2 - B^2$ (natural units yada yada; in tensor notation they are $\epsilon_{\mu\nu\rho\lambda}F^{\mu\nu}F^{\rho\lambda}$ and $F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}$ resp.). So in any configuration such that the latter quantity is negative then there is no frame in which the magnetic field disappears. | |
