Harry and Rafe continue the discussion around coming to understand the nature of light. In this episode they discuss the concepts of Einstein's Special Relativity, the basic concept that ALL laws of physics must be consistent in any inertial reference frame.
The outcome of this statement is that the measurement of the speed of light (c=3x10^8 m/s) is the same for ANY observer, at any time in ANY inertial reference frame. And the concept of "sitting still" has no meaning, since ALL motion is relative; there is no reference frame for the universe --- unless, of course, you are above time and space...
