Electrodynamics (electricity and magnetism) is governed by Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law, but that left it a little broken. It would take Albert Einstein inventing special relativity to fix it. If magnets are based on motion and motion is relative, how does that work? ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Maxwell's Equations Visualized:    • Maxwell's Equations Visualized (Diver...   The Ultimate Guide to Relativity:    • The Ultimate Guide to Space-time and ...   Galilean Relativity:    • Video   Older Version of this Video:    • Magnetic Force Does NOT Exist!   ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS Veritasium on Relativistic Electrodynamics:    • How Special Relativity Makes Magnets ...   Crash Course on Magnetism:    • Magnetism: Crash Course Physics #32   ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon:   / scienceasylum   Advanced Theoretical Physics (Paperback …...more
