okay, thanks...

I was a specifically interested in the potential shape (as I'm aware of the pancake field, that has a reduction on the x-axis compared to the static case): (Griffiths 4th ed (10.46)) - where v is the velocity of the charge at the retarded time, and r is the vector from the retarded position to...

1) What is the shape of equipotential surfaces of the Liénard–Wiechert potential for a uniformly moving charge in the lab frame in the x-direction, like behind(x=-r) and in front(x=r) of the charge? Is the value the same as in the static case, Coulomb potential at x=r? 2) Is there some kind of...

If we by induction in the scientific method mean: "that the future will resemble the past" and The Problem of Induction states: "There is no logical necessity forcing nature to remain uniform" does The Problem of Induction implies violation of (global) conservation laws?

Yes, he(the channel) likes ether, maybe that's why he uses the Doppler effect for waves in a medium...the goal of the channel seems to be to recover some intuitive archaic version of "classical reality"... - like here:

Thanks. I suspected it was nonsense, but I was confused by the lack of critical comments and the many views. I have many physics books as I studied physics 20+ years ago and I had to open four of them again to debunk this video... What a sad state of Youtube physics information...

Im utterly confused about this video and I would like some opinions about it: "How Superposition Causes Length Contraction -- And Explains the Principle of Relativity" Approximately content: 1) Length contraction is entirely physical (shorter molecular bonds??). 2) Oliver Heaviside's retarded...
