The speed of light, for all practical purposes, is the same, a constant; in whatever field it happens to be found at a particular point in time. This constancy could possibly suggest uniform field density variation. Hence the secret of light speed is intimately connected to the changes in field density.
Nature can be described by numerous varieties of field. There are matter field (Higgs field), energy field (potential and kinetic), force field (weak, strong, electromagnetic, and gravitational), fluid field, thermal field, and in agriculture, wheat field, rice field, and corn field, etc. In psychology, constructive and destructive mind field. In the war zone, mine fields (land and ocean). One more is the mysterious true vacuum field and false vacuum field of modern high energy physics. Depending on their definitions, there are many more fields under study by various fields of scientific investigation. Note that “field” is used in two different contexts. For field in mathematics see the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics).
Once a field is known, obviously, the next logical step is to find effective means of moving around. Since the beginning, units of light energy, the photons, have found an effective mean known as transverse motion, the continuous motion along the orthogonal direction to the translational axis. Transversal tendency is a true way of reserving areas of constant density variation known as equipotential surfaces. The ability to remain in a given equipotential surface would likewise stops the variation of temporal density, suppressing the eventual formation of closed volumes creating matter field for the local or global spacetime domain. What remains is constant energy field of potential invariance and kinetic invariance, hence constancy of speed. This suggests that the total energy (sum of potential and kinetic) is conserved in an isolated thermodynamic universe, giving another law of conservation for square of energy. The square removes the obvious distinction between matter and antimatter but not positive and negative energy field.

The Following User Says Thank You to AntonioLao For This Useful Post:
What do you mean when you say temporal density? Can that be understood as spatial density. Or is it energy density which is suppresed so that there no formation of matter.
Please explain
"I never anticipate, - carpe diem - the past at least is one's own, which is one reason for making sure of the present."
I have a relatively close image of what you're saying in regard to the why is the speed of light a constant.
We have realised that the higher the energy involved in the actual propagation of a given quantum of a given energy [electromagnetic or nuclear, etc] the higher its frequency. So, we can not increase [artificially or naturally] the net energy of a quantum without producing a corresponding increment in its own frequency... simple physics do you agree with me on this?
That's fine! There are always a different way to explain the same thing depending what is that "you take for granted." Some scientists claimed that a wave of energy with more energy will have a higher frequency [which I agree with this concept] but others will say that frequency is what actually makes a wave or "particle" more energetic... you see my point here?
If you depart from the basic concept that frequency is the physical RATE of the density a given quantity [quantum] of energy PROPAGATES in the eather [vaccum] then there must be something that REGULATES OR DETERMINES a threshold where a consequent stretching or expanding of the wavelength of the quantum during propagation will directly respond.
I believe that the speed of light is what I called a fixed THRESHOLD wich at the same time defines whether a quantum behaves as a wave or as a particle. If a certain wave or magnitude of energy is "increased" or "injected" with a plus amount of energy so its overall energy of the system surpases the so-called threshold... then the wave becames an observable "particle."
Since energy is quantized and it "comes" in different values across the scale there are levels of energy-quanta that will always present or manifest themselves as PARTICLES [protons, neutrons electrons,etc] due precisely to the threshold that prohibits them to propagate as regular waves across the eather.
That's my opinion about it. But I could imagine there will be a great number who disagree with me on that too. That's why we could discuss about this today.
___________________________________________
That's the reason for the physical existence of matter. If energy in the universe were below the threshold... the universe would be pure light or radio or microwave waves hanging around in empty space. The reality is other than such episode described above. Matter is the materialization of an incredibly huge magnitude of quantum-energy incapable of propagating as a "simple radion wave" precisely because of the LIMIT [threshold] becaming what we describe as a physical PARTICLE... CAN'T BE SIMPLER COULD IT?
Take the famous "Two slit experiment" as an example.
We know [no argue about it] that one electron is shot from the source and it moves as a wave until it reaches the screen some inches further. Some could argue that the electron moved as an electron [considered always as a particle by many] so... as a particle and it has to "decide by himself" [or "herself" no discrimination here...] the point of its final destination to finally make a familiar spectrum of dark and white bands... most of all know the story pretty well. Others [later on] agreed on the fact that the electron in question had to move as a wave instead since that would be the only way to explain the spectrum as a result of a complex interaction of its own path.
It makes sense to me to analyse the trajectory of our electron from the point of view of the action of the limite impossed on it by the speed of light.
I have said in my post above that, to certain magnitude of net energy and due to the limitations impossed by the speed of light on every single quantum existent in this universe, sometimes energy must move as a particle and sometimes as a wave. But there is still a possibility that probably no one has taking into consideration so far:
What if the energy content in one electron could "split" into other constituents as it propagates across the eather reuniting them once again at the instant of collapse?
We have learned that neutrinos could apear and disppear as they propagate from the source... couldn't this be the direct result of such process too?
That would also explain why the lonely electron doesn't have to go through a serious of "confronting consideration" as to where collapse in the screen to fit with experimental predictions... (?) We could explain that our electron could indeed split in two waves both of which COULD PROPAGATE WITH A DIFFERENT frequency
and why?
Because both waves fall under the so-called THRESHOLD I mentioned above... remember that part? This way a quantum too energetic to move as a wave in theory makes a trick no one expected to happen according to our theories: It splits into two different waves that could propagate at light speed and as doing so they interact with eachother creating a resulting pattern that fits a holistic patern or spectrum.
The electron in this experiment would do just what neutrinos do in recent observation.
You see... LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE could be a part of our analysis if we are always open to new challenges and remain always OPENMINDED.
