Special Relativity
- incorporates the principle that the speed of light is the same for all
inertial observers of the state of motion of the source
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879)
PRINCIPLES:
Galilean Relativity
- Speed of light would not be the same if viewed from
different frames
James Clerk Maxwell
