Near-field electromagnetic effects on Einstein special relativity

The analysis in this paper has shown that, according to Maxwellpsilas equations the propagation speed of EM fields are nearly infinite in the near field and reduce to the speed of light in the far field. In addition, the propagation speed is dependant on the velocity of the source in the near field and only approximately independent in the far field. The field propagation has been shown to be independent of whether the source or observation point is moving, which is consistent with Galilean relativity. Einstein relativity is also based on this assumption but in addition assumes that the speed of light is constant. Since this assumption has been shown to not to be valid in the near field, relativity theory has been reanalyzed and has been shown in this paper to reduce to Galilean relativity in the near field and to approximately Einstein relativity in the far field. Because the absolute nature of space and time can not depend on experimental configuration (i.e. use of near-field or far-field EM fields), it is proposed that that Einstein relativistic effects are an illusion caused by the propagation time delays of EM fields used to measure time and space. Instead Galilean relativity is proposed to describe the real nature of space and time. The Lorentz transforms, with the new proposed definition of gamma is still very useful for calculating apparent space contraction and time dilation effects when high velocity systems are observed from non-moving reference frames. If a physical system is measured using near-field propagating EM fields then the apparent space-time changes will not be very noticeable and simple Galilean transformations can be used, but if physical systems are measured with far-field EM fields then the Lorentz transform can be used to calculated the altered space-time illusion, but it must be stressed that these effects are not real. Time and space are not to be interpreted as being flexible.
