Abstract |
|
|
| This article proves that speed of light in all uniformly moving inertial reference frames is absolute as postulated by Einstein. This is first done by considering light propagating with a speed c in all directions in an inertial frame of reference. If that frame is moving uniformly with a speed v relative to a second stationary inertial frame, we assume that
light in the second frame is propagating in all directions with a different speed cp=pc. Consequently, modified transformation Equations are formed. The established Poincaré ellipsoidal light waves are then used to find the Equation that governs the relation of p at any speed v. The analytical solution and numerical calculations to this equation yield a value p =1. This proves that speed of light propagates through empty space with speed c independent of the speed of the light source or the observer.
