Rahul, I agree w.r.t. Gleick's book. You are right. I think Eintein may have just needed the assumption that there was a limit to the speed of light "c" to work out his theories. MM was to determine the actual speed of light, so I should not have mentioned it in my post.

Not at all helpful for India to create a artificial division between the Pakis/Pakistani Army and ISI -- very helpful for the USA since it gives pakistan room to breathe at the expense of India (as has been going on for decades).
