I found the electric field by using the Liénard–Wiechert potentials for a relativistic point charge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%C3%A9nard%E2%80%93Wiechert_potential …) Source code:https://github.com/InertialObservr/twitter_gifs/blob/master/rel_point_charge.nb …

It should emit waves. Could you lower the scale? To see more space around? It is much funnier.

In what way? On both Mac desktop and iOS / iPad I see a crisp white circle and sharp blue field lines against a pure black background, with no artefacts of any kind.

It looks so happy!

the life of a point charge is very simple and honest. how could it not be content?

Where is the 0% on this?

The endpoints where it instantaneously stops

This does not seem right. Should not the equipotentials be ellipses of changing eccentricity? Is acceleration really that weird? Gah! I'll have to try myself later.

I just evolved as usual under the Liensrt Wiechert potentials.. I used the near field approximation to avoid having to compute restated times
