Electromagnetic fields possess momenta and energies which we could experience with our sense organs. Therefore, those are real physical entities, i.e., objects. All physical objects are subject to gravitation and at the near vicinity of the Earth’s surface they are carried with the Earth. Electric and magnetic fields should similarly be subject to gravitation and at the near vicinity of the Earth’s surface, they should be similarly carried with the Earth. We shall show in this paper that this simple classical consideration along with classical physics is equivalent to the special relativity theory.

Keywords: classical electrodynamics, special relativity.
