Theory of Relativity: Simplified

Why the speed of light never changes


Listen Later

In this episode, we tackle one of the most mind-bending principles of relativity: the constant speed of light. But why does light always travel at the same speed for every observer, regardless of their own motion? We’ll explore how Einstein’s insight into light’s unchanging speed shattered traditional physics, leading to revolutionary ideas like time dilation and length contraction. By understanding why light behaves this way, you’ll get a clearer view of how this cosmic speed limit forms the backbone of special relativity and impacts everything from GPS satellites to modern physics research.
