Explanation:
In physics, special relativity (also known as the special theory of relativity) is the generally accepted[1] and experimentally confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time. In Albert Einstein's original treatment, it is based on two postulates:
the laws of physics are invariant (i.e., identical) in all inertial frames of reference (i.e., non-accelerating frames of reference); and
the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source or observer.

The special theory of relativity
- postulates the invariance of speed of light in inertial frames, that is, frames which are not accelerating with respect to each other.
- According to this, the speed of light as observed by two observers moving with constant velocity with respect to each other, is equal to c for both.
