-
So, it would have been possible
-
to detect the velocity of the train
-
without looking outside,
-
just by doing an experiment with light.
-
So, even though mechanical laws involving F=m·a are the same,
-
laws of electricity and magnetism would be such
-
that somehow they would betray your velocity.
-
And that would mean uniform velocity
-
does make an observable change
-
because it changes the velocity of light that you would measure.
-
But conversely, the fact
-
that you keep getting the same answer means
