...We will discuss later the position that inertial frames occupy in the completed general theory of relativity.
[Special theory of relativity]
Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic waves, established in 1864, predicted the existence of waves that travel in a vacuum at c ≒ 3 × 10 8 m/s, and were named electromagnetic waves. This propagation speed coincides well with the speed of light, which had already been measured, and this gave rise to the idea that the nature of light is electromagnetic waves (a solid foundation for the electromagnetic wave theory of light was provided by HR Hertz in 1888, and his experiment is known as the Hertz experiment). …

 1864年に定成されたマクスウェルの電磁理論からは,真空中をc≒3×108m/sで伝わる波動の存在が予言され,電磁波と名付けられた。この伝搬速度は,すでに測定されていた光の速度とよく一致し,ここに,光の本性は電磁波であるという考えが生まれたのである(光の電磁波説の確固たる基礎は1888年H.R.ヘルツによって与えられ,その実験はヘルツの実験と呼ばれている)。…
