Abstract:
It is a new postulate, which could be accepted too, but not without rigorous
and thorough examination. And this all the more so since it is truly his, and
his alone, what came out of it, profound conceptual revolution that has destroys
our heritage of ideas, to give us nebulous formal schemes, unable to materialize
in the realm of physical designs.
I don't want to inquire here whether it's in good faith, and with what degree
of good faith that Einstein and many of those who follow him have thought that the
principle of the "constancy of propagation speed of light” was a consequence
necessary of the generalized principle of relativity and, by that very fact, an
experimental requirement.
