bloodhound Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 what makes the speed of light equal in all the inertial frames? Is it assumed to be true, like an axiom of mathematics
timo Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 yes, but it´s also what all measurements say (the michelson-interferometer was the 1st experimental setup that led to this assumption, in case you want to look it up).
