So at the point in time when the person in the reference frame looks at the distant object and observes the radial force, the distant object has no knowledge of the electrons previous locations in the past x years(x beeing the distance in light years). Can one predict the electromagnetic waves produced by accelerating charges by using relativity arguments based on this?( And also predict the field of moving charges and the same with the magnetic field through similiar arguments) | |
