Maxwell's equation is the answer. here is the explanation Suppose you are in a train. Your name is A There is another person but on the platform named as B If A throws a ball on the train wall and calculates its speed. The Relativity says that B will also get the same result. Now if the train starts moving. And A throws the ball again. A will measure that speed of ball is same as previous action.(Let the force he puts on the ball be constant). But the person B will find that speed of ball is Speed of ball + Speed of train If A flashes a light on the wall and repeat the whole experiment the conclusion will be that light will go at the same speed which is 3.00x10^8 m/s in both the cases which Maxwell's equation suggests.
