Abstract
This paper shows that all the facts that seem to require Maxwell?s Field Equations to be invariant under Lorentz transformations can be derived from assumptions different from what Einstein used. We start with Maxwell?s Field Equations and apply the relativity principle to them. With this approach, SRT is reformulated in a simple form that has its dynamical applications without using the LT and its kinematical contradictions.
