Scientific paper

The Fermat principle indicates that light chooses the temporally shortest
path. The action for this "motion" is the observed time, and it has no Lorentz
invariance. In this paper we show how this action can be obtained from
relativistic action, and how the classical wave equation of light can be
obtained from this action.
