Re: lawless physics (fwd)


There is nothing intrinsically special about light per se other than the
fact that it "happens" to travel at the one speed that is invariant (the
limiting speed if you will) in the Lorentz transformations.

The intrinsically special about light per se is the fact that it has zero
mass. Any other physical entity with zero mass will inevitably move with
the same speed (remember neutrino mass and cirality debate?). That far
within the special theory of relativity.
