Step 1
Special relativity is based on two fundamental postulates: 1. The Principle of Relativity: The laws of physics are the same in all inertial (non-accelerating) reference frames. 2. The Principle of the Constancy of the Speed of Light: The speed of light in a Show more…

Einstein's Principle of Relativity and his special relativity theory tell us that: All the laws of physics are the same in all reference frames. None of the other answers is correct. The total relativistic energy is conserved, and it has the same value in all frames. Only the laws of mechanics are the same in all inertial reference frames. Everything is relative, there are no invariants (or "absolutes").

Which of the following is part of the second postulate of Einstein's special theory of relativity? Length is independent of the position of a uniformly moving observer. Time and weight are relative to the velocity of a uniformly moving observer. The speed of light in free space is the same to any uniformly moving observer. Energy in the inertial frame of reference is conserved in for all uniformly moving observers.
