The induced electric field surrounding a moving magnet does not betoken the absolute motion of the magnet. It only betokens the motion of the magnet in relation to an observer, who judges the field generated by the magnet to have both magnetic and electric components

did I notice that the difficulty lay in the arbitrariness of basic kinematical concepts.
Einstein’s other recollection of the importance of this thought experiment is in a typescript note in English, with handwritten German corrections, in honor of Albert A. Michelson’s 100th birthday and dated December 19, 1952.[1] In the struck out typescript, Einstein

What might manifest as a pure magnetic field in one frame of reference will manifest as a combination of electric and magnetic fields in another. This device enabled Einstein to see how the relativity of motion in the observables of electrodynamics could be extended to the full theory. The induced electric field surrounding a moving magnet does not betoken the absolute motion of the magnet. It only betokens the motion of the magnet in relation to an observer, who judges the field generated by the magnet to have both magnetic and electric components.
 
 
 
 
 
The same thought experiment is recounted in an autobiographical sketch written shortly before Einstein’s death. While reminiscing of his year at the gymnasium in Aarau, he wrote (Einstein, 1956, p. 10)
During this year in Aarau the following question came to me: if one chases a light wave with the speed of light, then one would have before one a time independent wave field. But such a thing appears not to exist! This was the first child-like thought experiment related to the special theory of relativity.
