Testing the application of Maxwell’s equations that became special relativity

Although it has passed a number of different tests, the special theory of relativity may not have been a correct application of the Maxwell equations for stationary bodies, to calculate electromagnetic forces on bodies that are moving at relativistic speeds. Measurements have not yet been made to find out whether or not one or more corrective factors would be appropriate for Maxwell’s equations, as was done for Newton’s law of gravitation. For example, measurements of the Newtonian reaction known as field distortion may show that Maxwell’s equations need to be multiplied by this paper's force-factor x/c (where x = {c²+v²−2cvcos[180^O−C−Arcsin(vsinC/c)]}^1/2, c is the speed of light, v is the speed of a body moving at angle C away from meeting a field force head-on, and Arcsine is capitalized to denote only its principal value). If so, the definition of force F = mdv/dt = ma (where mass is a constant that is independent of velocity) would be enabled to account for the non-classical accelerations of fast-moving bodies, as follows: The force-factor x/c becomes (1−v²/c²)^1/2 for the 90^O transverse forces used in oscilloscopes and particle accelerators. This result is mathematically equivalent to having mass increase by its reciprocal, the Lorentz factor 1/(1−v²/c²)^1/2.
