Structural constraint is the answer :)
<span>he theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates.

Answer:
light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant
