Hello everyone,
I read on WIKIPEDIA, that: In 1953 Einstein wrote to the Cleveland Society of Physics on the occasion of the commemoration of Michelson-Morley's experience that "what brought me more and less Directly to the theory of special relativity was the conviction that the electromotive force acting on a moving body in a magnetic field is nothing else that electric field "
I can not quite grasp the meaning of this statement, in any case what I understood is that the magnetic field can be perceived as an electric field going from one referential to another.
Is this a good interpretation or not?
Thank you
