They were predicted by Maxwell, who also showed that \[c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}}},\] where \(mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space and \(\epsilon_{0}\) is the permitivity of free space. Maxwell’s prediction of electromagnetic waves resulted from his formulation of a complete and symmetric theory of electricity and magnetism, known as Maxwell’s equations.

Mass can be destroyed to release energy. Relativistic energy is conserved as long as we define it to include the possibility of mass changing to energy. At extremely high velocities, the rest energy \(mc^2\) becomes negligible, and \(E = pc\).

The first postulate says that all motion is relative-that there is no reference frame that all observers can agree to be absolutely at rest. The second postulate says that light does not obey the usual laws of velocity addition. For example, if someone is moving toward you at \(99 \%\) of the speed of light and turns on a flashlight in your direction, you will measure the light's speed to be the same as if that person were at rest.
