This is the end of Einstein’s theory of special relativity and the Lorentz transformations?
Is it possible the special relativity without the second postulation;
The answer is yes.
Read for example:
“Simple derivation of the special theory of relativity
without the speed of light axiom” – a very simple yet rigorous derivation of the invariance of the space-time interval (and hence the whole special relativity) just from the isotropy, homogeneity and a principle of relativity, without the need of the speed of light axiom.
