Physics: Relativity: Special: Law: Einstein: What are the Einstein 
laws of special relativity?

---

Axioms:

-1st law of Einstein:

   The laws of nature remain unchanged
   in a reference axis system, and any other,
   given that these move with a linear
   speed in regard to each other

---

-2nd law of Einstein:

   The velocity of light is a constant,
   independent of the direction in which
   you measure.
   This velocity is independent of the
   source.

---

Note:

This observations where mostly based on the extensive experiments
performed by Michelson and Morley.
