The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.

How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work

Isn’t space time curvature fun?

It has me so choked uo my throat is sore. Somebody pass me a Lorentz

That is why they can be written really neatly in a relativistic formulation, but look fucked up in a classical one.

Yes! Finally someone else who is amazed by this! It’s crazy to think, that magnetism can be understood as nothing more than a relativistic phenomenon.

The workings of electromagnetic forces have long been postulated¹

Yet researchers should not explain these phenomenon as they tend to fornicate with matriarchal individuals and deal in misinformation, which I find upsetting

Every time I see a reference to Jackson I can only think of this…

Particals are positive, particles are negative, you can’t explain that.
