Physicists conducted experiments to attempt to make this question become clear.
The Michelson-Morley Experiment showed that there was no medium through which light travelled.
It showed that there is no Luminiferous aether.
The easiest way to see the general idea is to imagine a very fast spaceship moving at one half the speed of light from one star to another.
The spaceship has two light-speed meters, one pointing backward and one pointing forward.
Since the spaceship is moving away from the photons given off by the yellow star, and running toward the photons given off by the blue star, our ordinary experience leads us to expect that we would measure the speed of the yellow photons as 150,000 kilometres per second, and the speed of the blue photons as 450,000 kilometres per second.
However both photons are measured at 300,000 km/sec.
Thereby this result indicates that speeds do not change relative to the movement of the spaceship.

Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf DBE (9 December 1915 in Jarotschin in Prussia - 3 August 2006 in Schruns, Austria) was a German-British soprano.
She was one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century as well as a famous recitalist.
She was particularly known for singing the music of Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, and Wolf.
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was born in Jarotschin in the province of Posen in Prussia.
Schwarzkopf showed an interest in music from an early age.
She first sang in an opera in 1928 when she took the part of Eurydice in a school production of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice in Magdeburg, Germany.
In 1934, Schwarzkopf started to study in Berlin Hochschule für Musik, then she changed teachers and started working with the coloratura soprano Maria Ivogün as well as with Ivogün's husband, the pianist Michael Raucheisen.
Schwarzkopf gave her first professional performance at the Deutsche Oper Berlin on 15 April 1938, as the Second Flower Maiden (First Group) in Act II of Richard Wagner's Parsifal.
She sang in Berlin for four years, during which time she joined the Nazi Party.
Because of this she was later not allowed to appear in the United States.
In 1942, she was invited to sing with the Vienna State Opera, where her roles included Konstanze in Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Musetta and later Mimì in Puccini's La bohème and Violetta in Verdi's La traviata.
In 1945, Schwarzkopf was given Austrian citizenship so that she would be allowed to sing in the Vienna State Opera.
In 1947 and 1948, Schwarzkopf appeared on tour with the Vienna State Opera at London's Royal Opera House at Covent Garden on 16 September 1947 as Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni and at La Scala on 28 December 1948, as the Countess in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, which became one of her most famous roles.
In March 1946, Schwarzkopf had been invited to audition for Walter Legge.
Legge was a man who produced classical music recordings in Britain.
He had founded the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Legge asked Schwarzkopf to sing Hugo Wolf's lied Wer rief dich denn?.
He thought she was so good that he gave her an exclusive contract with EMI.
They worked a lot together, and they were married on 19 October 1953 in Epsom, Surrey; Schwarzkopf now had British citizenship because of her marriage to an Englishman.
In the 1960s, when Schwarzkopf sang in operas she nearly always sang one of her  five favourite operatic roles: Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Countess Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro, Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Countess Madeleine in Strauss's Capriccio, and the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier.
She was also good at singing Alice Ford in Verdi's Falstaff.
On the EMI label she made several "champagne operetta" recordings like Franz Lehár's The Merry Widow and Johann Strauss II's The Gypsy Baron.
Schwarzkopf's last operatic performance was as the Marschallin on 31 December 1971, in the theatre of La Monnaie in Brussels.
For the next several years, she only sang in lieder recitals.
On 17 March 1979, Walter Legge had a serious heart attack.
His doctors told him to rest, but instead of resting he went to Schwarzkopf's last recital two days later in Zurich.
After retiring, Schwarzkopf taught and gave master classes around the world, especially at the Juilliard School in New York City.
She was well known for being an extremely strict teacher who stopped her pupils to criticize every little bit of detail.
After living in Switzerland for many years, she went to live in Vorarlberg, Austria.
She was made a doctor of music by the University of Cambridge in 1976, and became a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1992.
She received many other awards.

In Eastern Orthodox Church the Christogram is composed with letters X, P, I and X arranged into the cross.
They are the first letters of one from two words in Greek language: Christ and Jesus Christ.
In the Western culture there exist the compositions: "IHS" and also "IHC" being the first letters (iota-eta-sigma) of the name Jesus in Greek alphabet: ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (Ίησοῦς or ΙΗϹΟΥϹ with lunated sigma).
The abbreviation in form "IHS" appeared in first time on the coins of Justinian II on the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries.
The order of Jesuits, in other words the Society of Jesus (Societas Iesu), adopted IHS as its fixed emblem - the symbol in 17th century.
There appeared also Latin interpretations of the abbreviation IHS, among others:
Iesus Humilis Societas - Humble Society of Jesus,
Iesus Hominum Salvator - Jesus, Savior of men,
In hoc signo vinces- By this sign you shall conquer.
Commentators unfriendly to the Catholic Church sometimes interpret the abbreviation IHS as derived from the solar idols of the Egyptian mythology: Isis, Horus and Seth.
Nevertheless, present scientific knowledge does not confirm such interpretations.

Alfred Sisley (30 October 1839 – 29 January 1899) was an English Impressionist landscape painter.
He was a British citizen, but was born, and spent most of his life, in France.
Sisley is known for his Impressionist landscapes painted en plein air, that is, outdoors.
He never went into portrait painting and continued in the impressionist style all his career.
Sisley was born in Paris to rich English parents.
His father William Sisley was in the silk business, and his mother Felicia Sell enjoyed music.
In 1857, at the age of 18, Sisley was sent to London to study for a career in business, but he gave it up after four years and returned to Paris.
In 1862 he studied at the atelier of Swiss artist Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, where he met Frédéric Bazille, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Together they would paint landscapes in the open rather than in the studio.
This helped them to capture the changing effects of sunlight.
This new approach resulted in paintings more colorful and more broadly painted than people were used to seeing.
At first Sisley and his friends had few chances to show or sell their work.
Their works were usually rejected by the jury of the most important art exhibition in France, the annual Salon.
During the 1860s, though, Sisley was in a better position than some of his fellow artists, for his father regularly gave him money.
In 1866 Sisley began a relationship with Eugénie Lesouezec (1834–1898; also known as Marie Lescouezec).
They had two children: son Pierre (born 1867) and daughter Jeanne (1869).
At the time, Sisley lived not far from Avenue de Clichy and the Café Guerbois, the meeting place of many Parisian painters.
In 1868 his paintings were accepted at the Salon, but it did not bring him any financial or critical success, and neither did any of the subsequent exhibitions.
The Franco-Prussian War which began in 1870 caused Sisley's father's business to fail.
The painter's only income was from the sale of his works.
He lived in poverty for the rest of his life, as the value of his paintings only rose in value after his death.
Occasionally, however, Sisley would be helped by his patrons, which allowed him, among other things, to make a few short trips to England.
The first trip was in 1874 after the first independent Impressionist exhibition.
The result of the trip was a series of nearly 20 paintings of the Upper Thames near Molesey.
Art historian Kenneth Clark said this was "a perfect moment of Impressionism."
Until 1880, Sisley lived and worked in the countryside west of Paris; then Sisley and his family moved to a small village near Moret-sur-Loing.
This was close to the forest of Fontainebleau where the painters of the Barbizon school had worked earlier in the century.
Here, as art historian Anne Poulet has said, "the gentle landscapes with their constantly changing atmosphere were perfectly attuned to his talents.
Unlike Monet, he never sought the drama of the rampaging ocean or the brilliantly colored scenery of the Côte d'Azur."
In 1881 Sisley made one more short trip to England.
In 1897 Sisley and his partner visited Wales and were married in Cardiff Register Office on 5 August.
They stayed at Penarth, where he painted at least six pictures of the sea and the cliffs.
In mid-August they moved to the Osborne Hotel on the Gower Peninsula, where he painted at least eleven oil-paintings in and around Rotherslade Bay.
They returned to France in October.
This was Sisley's last trip to England.
The National Museum of Wales in Cardiff now has two of his Welsh paintings.
In 1898 he applied for French citizenship but was refused.
He made a second application supported by a police report.
He became ill before the application was accepted, with Sisley remaining English until his death.
The painter died of throat cancer in Moret-sur-Loing at the age of 59, just a few months after the death of his wife.
Sisley's first works are lost.
His earliest known work is Lane near a Small Town.
This is believed to have been painted around 1864.
His first landscape paintings are sad and gloomy, coloured with dark browns, greens, and pale blues.
They were often painted at Marly and Saint-Cloud.
No one knows if Sisley's knew the paintings of J. M. W. Turner and John Constable, which he may have seen in London.
These artists have been suggested as an influence on his development as an Impressionist painter, as well as Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
Among the Impressionists Sisley has been overshadowed by Monet.
Sisley's work very similar to that of Camille Pissarro.
Described by art historian Robert Rosenblum as having "almost a generic character, an impersonal textbook idea of a perfect Impressionist painting", his work strongly creates atmosphere and his skies are always very impressive.
His concentration on landscape subjects was the most consistent of any of the Impressionists.
Among Sisley's best-known works are Street in Moret and Sand Heaps, and The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing shown at Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
Allée des peupliers de Moret (The Lane of Poplars at Moret) has been stolen three times from the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nice.
The first time was in 1978 when on loan in Marseille, but it was found a few days later in the city's sewers.
It was stolen again in 1998 and the museum's curator was convicted of the theft and jailed for five years along with two friends.
It was stolen again in August 2007.
On 4 June 2008, the French National Police found it and three other stolen paintings inside a van in Marseille.

Anthoxanthum, the vernal grasses, is a large genus of true grass with a wide distribution.
A. odoratum is a common species of acidic grassland and bogs in northern Europe.
The genus Hierochloe is included in Anthoxanthum by some.
Hierochloe is a genus or subgenus known generally as sweetgrass.
These are perennial rhizomatous grasses found in temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere.
These erect green grasses are known for their sweet scent.
They bear panicle inflorescences with rounded grass grain fruits.
An inflorescence is a flowering stem.
The term is most used for a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem.
An inflorescence is the reproductive portion of a plant; each plant bears its flowers in a specific pattern.
Sometimes it is just a close bunch of flowers (e.g. Antirrhinum) on a spike.
Sometimes the inflorescence is so tight it looks like one single flower.
What you see as a single daisy is actually made of several hundred tiny flowers packed together.
This kind of inflorescence is called a pseudanthium ("false flower").
The advantages of the inflorescence mode is all about reproduction compared to a single primitive flower of the Magnolia type.
Numbers There may be dozens or even hundreds of flowers in an inflorescence, with many seeds or fruits for each flowering.
Pollination Increased pollination is an important bonus.
Massing flowers together makes them more visible to pollinating insects and birds.
Seed or fruit dispersal Dispersal by wind or animals is improved by having the flowers at the top end of a stem.
