Revisiting Maxwell's Equations: Mathematical Transformation for Observers and Direct Derivation of the Doppler Effect
ORAL
Abstract
Maxwell's equations accurately describe the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, their conventional formulation implies invariance to observers regardless of their motion, posing challenges in explaining Doppler effect, where different observers perceive the same EM wave differently.
Based solely on the principle of the constancy of light velocity, a comprehensive set of ground-breaking results was derived through strict mathematics, named “Asymmetry Theory”, which aligns with all established experiments and mathematically derives fundamental formulas for Light velocity, Stellar aberration, Hafele & Keating, Ives & Stilwell, Sagnac effect, resistance to acceleration, Mass-Energy, Cosmological redshift, Cherenkov, Fresnel, Doppler effect …
By employing mathematical transformations, we derive a form of Maxwell’s equations by incorporating a "time scaling" factor to account for observer perceptions. Without altering the original equations, the transformed equations reduce to the original form when static.
Contrary to conventional beliefs, our mathematical solutions of Maxwell's equations reveal:
The theoretical validation of Asymmetry Theory through Maxwell's equations presents a significant paradigm shift in EM theory. Our findings offer a fresh perspective, promising a deeper understanding and unification of EM phenomena across different reference frames.

Contrary to conventional beliefs, our mathematical solutions of Maxwell's equations reveal:
- A unified Doppler effect formula.
Light velocity remains constant irrespective of the motion of the emitter, but not the observer.
Galilean invariance of Maxwell's equations.
