Abstract
An investigation is undertaken of the basis and implications of space-time kinematics. An understanding of the drawbacks and limitations of their use is sought. The possibility of addressing the same problems using the classical methodology of dynamics in rigorous terms is evaluated and the necessary means to make the Maxwell equations invariant in situations of moving bodies or across moving frames is explored. Further exploration leads to a derivation of the relativistic energy-momentum relations within purely 3 dimensional space and independent time using only the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force equation.
