View archived webcast Fri 8/31 Light -- The Supreme Informant - NOTE: In the last two minutes of lecture, I said that a fundamental assumption of special relativity is that the speed of light cannot be exceeded. Actually, the fundamental assumption is that the measured speed of light is independent of the observer's speed or the source's speed (as written on CS-23, and as confirmed experimentally). This leads to the *conclusion* that the speed of light cannot be exceeded. Sorry about the error; I was rushing at the end, and simply said the wrong thing. - Alex
