Resumen
This article is devoted to the key concept of modern electrodynamics—the
invariance of the speed of light. The general principle of relativity is considered
in detail. Some critical remarks to the relativistic invariance and to the
Lorentz transformations are presented. The general invariance of Maxwell
equations is discussed. Different theoretical expectations for possible results of
Michelson-Morley experiment and some physical consequences are considered.
Some critical remarks to the notion of the light speed and its constancy
are given. The relativistic law for velocity addition, including strangeness of a
noncollinear addition and a superluminal motion, is discussed. Critical analysis
of two works which proof the need for existence of an invariant velocity is
consequentially made. Producción Científica de la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas UAZ
