Standen, Science is a Sacred Cow, (Sheed and Ward, 1952), pp. 52-53. Experiments had failed to detect variations in the speed of light. So Einstein in essence said "What if there are no such variations? What would be the consequences of that?" And we got special relativity. Special relativity lives or dies according to whether variations in the speed of light are found. So far, none have, and special relativity has lived longer than almost any human being. Sylvia.
