Light maintains a finite speed invariant of relative motion due to the spacetime metric structure
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 88/100
The constancy of the speed of light and its invariance across relative motion are foundational predictions of relativity that are robustly supported by extensive experimental tests of the spacetime metric structure.
