If you look at the work of Feigenbaum - e.g. http://arxiv.org/abs/0806.1234 - you&#x27;ll see how similar to Hardy deriving QM purely by continuing older lines of thought, the fact the universe has a maximum possible speed that anything can travel - the speed of light (though it&#x27;s not strictly about light) can be derived from postulates as old as Galilean relativity. The speed of light cannot be infinite - it must…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0806.1234/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>physics.class-ph
