Everything is not relative but the speed of light in vacuo is the one

everything is not relative? *is that right -- is that what relativity
is really is? *I thought even in Newton's physics, speed is relative,
so maybe Einstein's theory is different in this regard? *When we say
"something approaches the speed of light", is that absolute speed or
relative to the observer?


Motion through space is absolute.
