→‎Quantum Field Theory/Changes to the Intro: Ruby is right. Call relativity Maxwellian if you like, but not vice-versa.

::::::::::::: That's right, Maxwell predated Einstein by 30 years or so. Your point? Maxwell's equations are still relativistic, ie, invariant under the Lorentz group. Maxwell's equations are taught and understood today in terms of relativity. You can view special relativity as just a way of understanding Maxwell's equations.

:::::::::::::: A relativist tries to view everything in terms of relativity ... including morality and values and an alleged impossibility of action-at-a-distance like what is described in the Bible.  Next thing we'll be hearing relativists claim that Edison's work was relativistic too!
