So true JA, classical maxwellian calculations handle all these variables effortlessly without faster than light magical absurdities.
. Newton, Einstein and Feynman, obviously did not have your insight, for they wrestled with this problem for much of there lives. Feynman eventually acquiesced to, "ridiculous" and "absurd" (his words) sets of rules to solve the problem. Einstein went to his grave pondering on the concept of his "light quanta" or photons.
