special relativity - Why and how is the speed of light in vacuum constant, i.e., independent of reference frame?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
