Abstract
Many papers have been published over the years that either conjecture or even (claim to) prove the universality of the form of Maxwell's equations. We present yet another derivation of Maxwell's equations and discuss the conclusions suggested by Maxwell universality, namely the logical inevitability of the Lorentz transformations and the mathematical inconsistency of Newtonian physics.
