Trying to Understand Relativity
Hey,I've been reading Einstein's book "Relativity".
I'm stuck on light travelling at a constant, whether or not the observer or emitter is moving. What exactly is it travelling 3000000km/sec relative to? What frame of reference are we using? Thanks ahead of time. PS. I'm a high school senior. I don't have that much math/physics under my belt. I would highly appreciate it if you keep that in mind in your explanation.
