Introduction
Discovery that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
Again, most people would equate their everyday experience about jumping off
moving trains and conclude that a light beam emitted from a rocket would travel faster
than one emitted from the ground. But, Einstein observed that light is an
which in turn causes a moving electric field. This process is self-sustaining and
doesn't need any outside help (like a moving train) to keep it going.
