Einstein's Theory of Relativity - Is Light Speed Absolute?

[squareroot]

"everything is relative"

hy guys,so Einstein jad a quote "everything is relative" but he proved that lightspeed has speed c relative to any reference frame ,doesn t that means that c is absolute?


hope i made myself clear.

hi squareroot!

yes, c is absolute

(but the energy and momentum of light are relative)

Really? Did he? Can you provide a source for that quotation?

but he proved that lightspeed has speed c relative to any reference frame ,doesn t that means that c is absolute?

Yes, and therefore he wanted to call his theory "The Theory of Invariants".
