“Einstein looked at the Lorentz transformations and saw only one perspective – that of observers in spacetime (he focused on v, not c). It never even occurred to him to consider the same transformations from the other available perspective, that of light, the absolute condition (what happens if you focus on c, not v?!).” — Dr. Thomas Stark
