Speed of Light Critiqued
From: James Cooke
Einstein postulated that the speed of light in free space is the
same for all observers, regardless of their motion
relative to the light source.
This postulate stemmed
from assuming that Maxwell s equations of
electromagnetism, which predict a well-defined speed of
light in vacuum, hold in any inertial frame of
reference, rather than just in the frame of the aether,
as was previously believed.
This prediction
contradicted classical mechanics, which had been
accepted for centuries.
Einstein s approach was based
on thought experiments, calculations, and on the
principle of relativity (that is, the notion that all
physical laws should appear the same to all inertial
observers.
I, James Cooke, propose that we revisit Einstein`s postulations that the speed of
light is an Absolute Constant.
The Universe, as we`ve come to know it, had a
point of origin.
Prior to that point of origin, nothing existed,
not even light.
If we look at the Universe
