Sue,

I never expected to come across you here.

Your name is Dennis - and you are talking to yourself.

I'd like to have some comments on this.

But I think the simple answer is that we can use special relativity as

You use SR when there is significant motion in free-space
to cause Maxwell's time independent equations to exhibit
errors due to the finite speed of light. (PoR)
