Several researchers (using different approaches) have been obtained the correct fields produced by an electrical charge moving with constant rectilinear velocity without using the relativistic machinery (Heaviside, Landau, Jefimenko, Dimitriyev, Ogiba, …).
On the other hand, if electrical charges are placed in external electromagnetic fields, then appear asymmetries in the Maxwell equations (see the introduction of the ontological Einstein’s paper) that can only be resolved by applying the Lorentz transformations.
I believe that if we get a true answer for the first case (based on first principles), the second case will be easily (and logically) understood. Moreover, the number of relativistic paradoxes will be drastically reduced.
