======================== ..
I think you mean the photon? Even if so I think the statements are wrong. In my physics courses photon motion was almost always in a straight line ( with occasional disconunities ). Can you site a source?Electron is a dynamic particle. This means it cannot “rest “
in Maxwell's equations and somehow electron must move
( without moving rectilinearly).
At the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX centuries many scientists
(Abraham, Fitzgerald, Poincare, Lorents, Einstein ) were interested
in the question: What will take place, if Maxwell's “rest” electron begins
to move - rectilinearly? All of them came to the conclusion that there
would be radical changes with the electron. Later these changes were
described by the Lorentz transformations and SRT.

Why (not) ?Electron is a dynamic particle. This means it cannot rest
I'm sorry have they changed Maxwell's equations since I went to school?in Maxwell's equations and somehow electron must move
Maxwell's theory is not an isolate system of equations.I'm sorry have they changed Maxwell's equations since I went to school?
Not so.This theory is tied with SRT.
The Universe as whole is one harmony system:Not so.
They are perfectly compatible with special relativity, but could be compatible with other different laws since they are quite independent.
This, however, does not address my point which challenged your claim that Maxwell's equations require the electron to be in motion.
I ask you to demonstrate this requirement in Maxwell's equations.
At last.Maxwell's equations say nothing about electron.
No so. They are field equations.But there isn't Maxwell's equations without electron
Surely equations of any sort are a matter of mathematics, not opinions?It is my own opinion that electron cannot rest in the Maxwell's equations .
Maxwells equations are independent of the source or form of that charge.
Are you suggesting they do not apply to other charges, such as ions, positrons, protons etc?

Maxwell's equations are not independent of its source electron.
Maxwell's equations depend on an electron.

Excuse my poor EnglishSo what do I make of the fact that this is the second time you have contradicted yourself in the last 7 posts?
Perhaps you should check your datesI want to say that the electron is the father of Maxwell's equations.
Perhaps you should check your dates
Maxwells equations 1860 - 1871
Thompson's discovery of the electron 1897
In fact the history of both makes good reading.

So both of them were very clever persons who are remembered for more than one discovery in physics.History of physics is not the way you think.
This is just plain rubbish.History of physics is not the way you think.
Why?
Because even now we don't know what electron is.
I understand you:So both of them were very clever persons
who are remembered for more than one discovery in physics.
Are you denying that Thompson discovered the electron nearly
thirty years after Maxwell published his electromagnetic equations?
This is just plain rubbish.
There are many things we know of but do not fully understand.
How does not fully understanding them alter their discovery?
