On the Dependence of Electromagnetic Phenomena on the Relativity of Simultaneity and Their Expression of Knowledge in the Physical World

Maxwell's equations hold in inertial reference frames (irf) moving at a constant velocity relative to one another. In conjunction with the Lorentz coordinate transformation equations (Lctes), the transformation equations for the electric and magnetic field components in these irfs can be derived. As the derivation of the Lctes depends on the relativity of simultaneity (ros), and indeed on the argument on the ros which can be made with either frame the stationary frame and the other frame the moving frame, electromagnetic phenomena indicate that human cognition is involved in the structure and functioning of the physical world and that these ep are an expression of knowledge in the physical world. Also, Einstein’s argument on ros fails because the “moving” human observer (ho) is not in an irf where he can establish simultaneity since the “moving” ho knows he is moving and experiences himself moving, as Rock has shown empirically. Instead, ros is shown when the ho at rest in the stationary irf uses the time and space in his reference frame (rf) that depend on the simultaneity established in his frame to logically DEDUCE RELATIVE to the ho in the moving frame that the light ray used by the ho at rest in the moving rf to attempt to establish simultaneity in the moving rf should be characterized by c+v and c-v. c+v and c-v are central to the Ltces since [c²/(c+v)(c-v)] ^1/2=[1/(1-v²/c²)^1/2. Ros is based on knowledge.
