They say it is impossible to know whether you're moving at constant velocity or at rest unless you look outside.
How about this:(no gravity please)
I take two known charges and hold them at a distance one above the other.
They repel.That is l I know.
Someone else outside says,that the charges are moving at a velocity v and so he expects a magnetic force along with the electrostatic one.
Now what really happens(in the both our frames).Do I feel the magnetic force?Why not?
Suppose I do feel it,I would be able to tell that I'm moving without looking out.Right?
Thank You
