  In this paper Maxwell equations are used to analyze the propagation of
oscillating electric and magnetic fields from a moving electric dipole source.
The results show that both the magnetic field and electric fields generated
propagate faster than the speed of light in the nearfield and reduce to the
speed of light as they propagate into the farfield of the source. In addition,
the results show that the speed of the fields are dependant on the velocity of
the source in the nearfield and only become independent in the farfield. These
effects are shown to be the same whether the source or observation point is
moving. Because these effects conflict with the assumptions on which Einstein's
theory of special relativity theory is based, relativity theory is reanalyzed.
The analysis shows that the relativistic gamma factor is dependant on whether
the analysis is performed using nearfield or farfield propagating EM fields. In
the nearfield, gamma is approximately one indicating that the coordinate
transforms are Galilean in the nearfield. In the farfield the gamma factor
reduces to the standard known relativistic formula indicating that they are
approximately valid in the farfield. Because time dilation and space
contraction depend on whether nearfield or farfield propagating fields are used
in their analysis, it is proposed that Einstein relativistic effects are an
illusion created by the propagating EM fields used in their measurement.
Instead space and time are proposed to not be flexible as indicated by Galilean
relativity.
