OK, I've done some more pondering on the whole thing, and I think I may have an answer.   Assuming the electric field propagates at c, as the magnetic field is proven to do, then there would be a notable "dopplering" of the field gradient surrounding a moving charged particle.   This Doppler effect

OK, I've been trying to get my head around the mechanism behind magnetism.  I see a magnetic field as a disturbance in the aether caused by a moving charge.  Where I bog down is trying to understand how this disturbance overcomes the natural repulsion between like charges.   The mental experiment I
