Special relativity to a first observer O, and frame S′ (pronounced "S prime") belongs to a second observer O′. Since there is no absolute reference frame in relativity theory, a concept of 'moving' doesn't strictly exist, as everything is always moving with respect to some other reference frame. Instead, any two frames that move at the same speed in the same direction are said to be "comoving". Therefore, "S" and "S"′ are not "comoving". The principle of relativity, which states that physical laws have the same form in each inertial reference frame, dates back to Galileo, and was incorporated into Newtonian physics.
History of special relativity and terminology. On September 26, 1905 (received June 30), Albert Einstein published his annus mirabilis paper on what is now called "special relativity". Einstein's paper includes a fundamental new definition of space and time (all time and space coordinates in all reference frames are on an equal footing, so there is no physical basis for distinguishing "true" from "apparent" time) and makes the aether an unnecessary concept, at least in regard to inertial motion. Einstein identified two fundamental principles, the principle of relativity and the "principle of the constancy of light" ("light principle"), which ostensibly served as the axiomatic basis
