This is quoted from "The Elegant Universe"
"the velovity of light is a kind of cosmic speed limit, a speed that nothing in the universe can exceed." - The Elegant Universe, On Einsteins Discovery
My Question is, How did einstein test/know this? How could he have possibly known what the speed of light was.This being before computers way back in the early 1900s, what tools could he have had at his disopal to propmt him to say that light is the fastest thing in the universe? Also was there some type of equation he figured out to prove this? if so could someone please provide an example of it?
Thank you
