That, no matter who measured the speed of a beam of light, the result would be the same. In other words, someone travelling at 99% the speed of light would measure the same speed as someone standing still (all realtive to the light source).

Was pi used in Einsteins formula of relativity?

No. Energy, mass and light-speed, none of which involve pi.


Can the speed of a single wave change?

Because of albert einsteins theory, he shows that by trying to change the speed of a wave is impossible, unless you can change the wavelength of the wave since the frequency is unchangeable.


What is Einsteins matter energy equivalence?

E-mc^2. Energy is related to matter by the speed of light squared.

Has someone figured out a new number that equals e?

If we are writing about the famous formula E=MC2. In this formula E stands for Energy. M stands for Mass C2 stands for the speed of Light times the speed of Light. I don't think there is a new number that equals E. Albert Einsteins famous formula has not been changed, yet.


How did Albert Einstein determine the speed of light?

Albert Einstein did not determine the speed of light, rather that the speed of light was the maximum speed possible in the universe. The speed of light was discovered in the late 1600's by Danish astronomer Ole Roemer, using Jupiter and its moon Io. It was later used in Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and then later used by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity.


Who determined that the speed of light as a universal?

Albert Einstein I believe..............
