Special Relativity/Laws of Physics/Continuum
Newton's Laws of Physics
Special Relativity assumes that the Laws of Physics are equally valid in all non-accelerated frames of reference.
Proposed in 1905, Special Relativity assumes that the Laws of Physics are equally valid. In all non-accelerated frames of reference. The speed of electromagnetic radiation in free-space has same values for all inertial observers. Space and time are relative (they depend on the motion of the observer who measures them) and light is more fundamental than either. This is the basis of Einstein's theory of special relativity ("special" refers to the restriction to uniform motion).
