| Feb 28, 2021 at 18:03 | comment | added | WillO | If that's what you mean by "the speed of light", nothing in relativity requires it to be frame-independent. | |

| Feb 28, 2021 at 17:17 | comment | added | jng224 | Special relativity postulates that the speed of light is the same regardless of observer or source motion, so "in this case he'll observe a different speed for light" is incorrect. | |
