First sentence: Traditionally, two postulates are put at the beginning of Special Relativity, from which all other results can be derived: A.  The Principle of Relativity B.  The constancy of the speed of light From these principles the Lorentz transformation may be derived in numerous ways, some more and some less elementary, as is done in most presentations of Relativity.
