Quotes by Michael Sobel in Time One

We are left with only two alternatives. One is to say that the predicted velocity of light is meant to be relative to a particular and very special frame of reference. The second alternative is to accept the speed at c in every frame of reference, accept its violation of our intuition, but recognize that our experience really does not extend to objects moving at such high speeds.
