  The standard theory of relativity is based on the hypothesis of locality. The
locality principle assumes that an object is affected only by its immediate
surroundings and not by variables in the past. It follows that in standard
relativity theory even wave properties are measured instantaneously. This
contradicts the Bohr-Rosenfeld principle, according to which fields cannot be
determined instantaneously. Nonlocal special relativity resolves the problem by
taking past history into account. The current status of nonlocal
electrodynamics is discussed and a new consequence of nonlocality, namely, a
certain additional amplitude shift due to nonlocality in the spin-rotation
coupling is presented.
