Awesome post, Rangsk. It actually does make sense, because if you think about it... even on earth we aren't truly at rest. Earth itself is rotating, spinning around the sun, and surely the galaxy itself is moving at a high speed. I never through of it that way before until I read the bit in your post about constant velocity being "at rest".
Yeah, I'm currently reading The Elegant Universe right now, but took a slight departure from the text right when it started talking about the constant speed of light. Maybe it touches up on it more later in the book, but I had that itch to know "why" then and there
I ordered those Feynman books too
Very fascinating stuff
