In fact, my understanding is that the ideas behind relativity are a
result of interpreting Maxwell's equations. Maxwell's equations
predict the speed of light without a definition of a frame of
reference implying the idea that there is no "standard" frame of
reference and therefore all motion is relative.

PS I hate the dozens of Out of Office replies posting to this list
generates. Can't people turn off their mail delivery from this list
when they go on vacation? I even got one reply that said the email
address did not exist. Will that subscription to this list be
terminated? Who do we contact for help with this list? I don't see
messages from Lee Ritchey that others reply to and I don't see a
contact address at the list web page.
