Abstract
Despite consistent experimental evidence reaffirming the constant and universal maximum velocity of light, there remains some ambiguity with respect to the absolute certainty of this postulate. In particular, both cosmic inflation [A. R. Liddle and D. H. Lyth, Cosmological Inflation and Large-Scale Structure (Cambridge University Press, New York, 2000)] and quantum entanglement [A. Aspect, J. Dalibard, and G. Roger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1804 (1982)] have been interpreted to demonstrate velocities in excess of the velocity of light. Although theories have been offered to explain these contradictions, there remains enough uncertainty to warrant further investigation. Here we will provide a new theory, using the principle of relativity, to offer both a framework for understanding this problem and a method for reconciling the ambiguity that arises from it.
