From: The Fabric of Space-Time: Unraveling Einstein's Theory of Relativity
evidenceacademic

The laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their motion or the motion of the light source.

99% confidence

This is a core postulate of special relativity, leading to phenomena like time dilation and length contraction, where time passes differently and lengths appear to shorten for objects moving at relativistic speeds.
