@NPNHWU suggested to look at the field emitted by a charge under the effect of a constant force (e.g. gravity).
Notice that in special relativity constant force does not mean constant acceleration.pic.twitter.com/WWBAyLYg5Z
I lament the state of physics education. Everything about relativity, and about all relativistic phenomena, is simpler and more natural when viewed 4-dimensionally, and this has been clear for more than a century. That this should need arguing today is sad and strange.

What is "simpler" and "more natural" depends on your target audience. And the fact that you are complaining that I am not writing for the target audience you wanted is sad and strange.

If in your comment you wrote something like "If you use 4-vectors you still get that a constant force leads to a constant acceleration" you would have gotten a few like, and a few people would probably got curious and learn about it. Instead you decided to complain and criticize.
