Fact of the matter was previous to Michelson and Morely's work, a
Scottish fellow by the name of Maxwell had already DEFINED the speed
of light.


I never said or implied that Einstein "DEFINED the speed
of light", only that he "nailed it down" in his equations
as the one universal constant - while all other parameters
are subject to relativity effects.
