Gonna make peace with Einstein's Preposterous Postulate

After a very satisfying 25-year career, I retired. And decided, Gol' Darn It, I'm gonna get to the bottom of Einstein's Preposterous Postulate that Light Moves at the Same Speed in All Frames of Reference.

So I read a lot of books for clues of where to start. Leading cosmologists are really into writing books for the "general audience." Nice try, guys. I have a freakin' PhD from MIT in Physical Chemistry, and it was still a slog!

Yet, I peeled out a very intriguing idea -- "We move through spacetime at the speed of light." What does that mean? (Full disclosure, this was also an F-word-worthy special occasion.)

I also picked up that Einstein got the idea that the speed of light was a constant from Maxwell's Equations about electromagnetism.

OKAY! I have some leads!
