The speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s
Okay after a little research, Einstein's special theory of relativity can be broken down to the following few sentences:
The whole theory is based on two postulates:- 1. The laws of physics take the same form in all inertial frames.
2. In any inertial frame, the velocity of light c is the same whether the light is emitted by a body at rest or by a body in uniform motion.
